MovieComedyIn Paris, a heated argument between Leontine and her father causes Leontine to pack her bags and travel to Nevele. Although her three uncles welcome her with open arms, they cannot prevent Aunt Cordula from having her way. Their Parisian niece can stay in Nevele if she works for room and board. In Nevele, Leontine gets to know the villagers and their daily activities. The often narrow-minded ideas of the rural population are at odds with the rather frivolous mindset of the Parisian twenty-something. The clash of the two worlds provides countless amusing moments in the film. When Cupid visits the Goetgebuer children's farm and sets his sights on Aunt Cordula, hilarious scenes ensue.
MovieComedyLife goes on as usual at the Goetgebuer children's farm, where everyone works hard. But all that comes to an end when Aunt Zeunia realizes that her days are numbered and she wants to see her niece from Paris one last time before she dies. The three unmarried brothers and their sister do not understand why their aunt, the daughter of their deceased sister who lived in Paris, wants to meet her again after more than ten years. Cordula fears that her aunt will give away her entire fortune to her niece. The three brothers think it won't be such a big deal and are looking forward to their niece's arrival. When she arrives, Leontine turns out to be a beautiful young woman. In no time at all, she turns her three uncles' heads, much to the annoyance of her aunt Cordula.

Shortly afterwards, Leontine's husband is called up to the front. During the war, the Goetgebuer children are forced to take in two wounded German soldiers. Although Leontine is the central character in the film, it is once again the three brothers and Aunt Cordula who steal the show.
