THE STORY: Germaine Lauzon has just won a million trading stamps in the local lottery. To get them pasted into books, she invites her four sisters and a variety of close friends to assist her. While Germaine dreams of things she’s always wanted and can now buy for herself, her sisters and friends scheme to thwart her, as they turn jealous with no understanding as to why Germaine should win anything. Each sister explains her view of Germaine’s life while they scheme to pilfer stamps away from her. Thrown into the wacky group is Germaine’s daughter, Linda, who, going through the dramatic changes of a misunderstood teenager, needs help dealing with her mother, and invites her friend Lisette to the house. But Lisette needs advice too, being newly pregnant, and finds Dear Aunt Pierrette, the black sheep of the family, to advise her on whether to have an abortion, put the baby up for adoption, or any other alternative. Germaine battles with Linda, when she suddenly realizes some of her stamps are missing and catches the ladies in the act. A wild and raucous stamp-throwing melee ensues which triggers Linda to decide that this is a good time to get out on her own. Germaine’s sisters make off with as many stamps as possible and Germaine is left with shattered dreams and only a fraction of the million stamps she had when she started.
