Paris. Winter of 1750. In hopes of a better life, former prostitute Madlen becomes a maid in the house of the famous clockmaker Reinhardt. On the police's assignment, the girl must find out what the clockmaker is really up to, as persistent rumors circulate around the city that Reinhardt creates his peculiar mechanisms - birds adorned with precious stones, silver spiders, rabbits, bats - using magic, defying the laws of nature. But in the clockmaker's house, Madlen feels extremely uncomfortable: she feels as if she is constantly under the scrutiny of others' eyes. Events take an even more ominous turn when children start disappearing from the streets. Filled with determination to uncover the truth, Madlen realizes with horror that she may be dealing with a conspiracy that leads to the heart of Versailles. But what lies at the core of this conspiracy? Who is the Wind-Up Girl? And what is Madlen truly seeking? "The Wind-Up Girl" is a stunning tale of obsession, illusions, and the price of freedom.
