Paris, 1950s, the body of a beautiful young woman dressed in an elegant evening dress appears in the middle of a square in a suburban arrondissement. The famous inspector Jules Maigret (Gérard Depardieu) is in charge of investigating her case, but it is impossible for him to identify the victim, since absolutely no one seems to have known or remembers her.

During his investigations, Maigret's path crosses that of Betty (Jade Labeste), a young woman who lives with petty theft, whose resemblance to the victim will make Maigret devise a plan to discover the identity of the deceased young woman. In the course of the investigation, Maigret will begin to recall old memories of him, since Betty's youth will remind him of the disappearance of his own daughter.

After seeing the British Rowan Atkinson become Maigret, in the acclaimed British series, the detective has a French accent again. Along with Gérard Depardieu and Jade Labeste, Mélanie Bernie, Aurore Clément, Clara Antoons, Pierre Moure, Bertrand Poncet, Élizabeth Bourgine, Anne Loiret, Hervé Pierre, André Wilms, Philippe du Janerand, Jean-Paul Comart and Pascal Elso complete the cast. A co-production between France and Belgium.
