In Paris, there is a house that offers refuge to all women of the world. Among them is Solène, a successful lawyer who questions her life after a breakdown. In the "House of Women," she now writes letters on behalf of the residents - to the immigration office, to her son left behind in Guinea, to her lover - and discovers the joy of solidarity and the magic of this house. By helping others, Solène finds meaning in her life again. But who was the woman who, a hundred years ago, created this sanctuary against all odds? Solène decides to write down the story of its founder, Blanche Peyron.
