"Jeanne la Vierge" is a French adaptation of the beloved Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, set in vibrant, multicultural Marseille. This dramatic comedy blends classic telenovela twists with French sensibilities, following a bright, ambitious young woman's accidental artificial insemination—and the ripple effects it has on her life, her family, and the wealthy media mogul whose child she is now carrying.
Jeanne Morel is a 19-year-old scholarship student with dreams of becoming a photojournalist. Her carefully planned life is upended when, thanks to a hospital mix-up, she is accidentally inseminated during a routine check-up. The biological father? Raphaël Dumas, a 32-year-old, dashing but troubled owner of a major Marseille media group, desperate to have a child after a failed marriage and cancer scare. The pregnancy draws Jeanne into a world of glamour, secrets, and power, while her tight-knit, loving, and sometimes chaotic family tries to protect her from the storm.
