The discovery reveals that Bernadette is biologically a Groseille, and Momo is biologically a Le Quesnoy.

The narrative engine of the film is a classic switch-at-birth trope, initiated by a disgruntled nurse, Josette. In an act of revenge against her lover, Dr. Mavial, she reveals that she swapped the newborn babies of the Le Quesnoy and Groseille families twelve years prior. This revelation forces a collision between two diametrically opposed worlds. The Le Quesnoys represent the "grande bourgeoisie," living a life of structured perfection, religious piety, and refined manners. In contrast, the Groseilles live in a state of perpetual disarray, surviving on petty crime and government subsidies, utterly indifferent to social decorum.
