Description
Paris, 1750. In the midst of a harsh winter, a new maid named Madeleine arrives at the home of a renowned watchmaker and his talented daughter. Rumors circulate about the watchmaker, suggesting that his peculiar mechanical creations are not mere machines but defy the natural order of things, possibly even at the expense of the living. However, Madeleine is not just an ordinary maid. She harbors a dark past and a dangerous mission: in exchange for hope for a new life for herself and her sick nephew, she must uncover the truth about the watchmaker's experiments and closely monitor his every move. Meanwhile, children begin to disappear from the streets of Paris, and Madeleine fears she has stumbled into a vast conspiracy that could reach the very heart of the royal palace in Versailles. The girl with the clockwork tells a dark tale of obsession, deception, and the high price of freedom.
