Plot[]
It's a rainy season in Paris, the Girls head out for a walk regardless. Madeline is feeling under the weather herself, sniffling and blowing her nose as they heads outside. On the street she eventually sneezes: Similar to a hurricane Force blowing wind hurls everyone away.
Ms. Clavel calls Dr. Cohn who comes to inspect Madeline's condition. He concludes that her sinuses are acting up. He suggests that Ms. Clavel take her to a more warm and dry environment to feel better. Fortunately the class' spring vacation is coming up, in the meanwhile the other Girls are bored inside the house as the rain stopped them from playing outside. Ms. Clavel receives a call from Lord Cucuface: He organized a spring trip for them, They are going to Cannes, a beachfront resort on the French Riviera. Madeline reveals she has never been to the beach and the other Girls tell her "it will be a lot of fun."
The next morning they board a train and they arrive in the Cannes Islands. It's an absolute paradise on the Mediterranean Island: sunny and warm. They stop by the hotel to drop of their luggage off, change into swim-wear and say hi to Lord Cucuface. Then the Girls ran out for the beach too swim. Ms. Clavel warns them to wear sun Tan-lotion, especially to Madeline who is unfamiliar with heat sunburn and assures Miss Cavel that she will be careful.
The Girls have a lot of fun on the beach. They swim, play volleyball and build sand castles. Chloe reminds her to apply sun lotion, but she doesn't believe it will be a problem and says she'll be fine. Later, after taking a long nap in the sun, Madeline wakes up in horror and shock! She has been sunburned severely. Two girls carry her back to the hotel as she's in great pain and unable to move. Ms. Clavel applies after-sun ointment to her burns and lectures her about listening to her instructions. When Madeline assures Miss Clavel she will be okay to play tomorrow. She informs her that due to her burn, she won't be able to play outside anymore and has to spend the rest of the trip out of the sun. Madeline is shocked about this turn of events.
The next day while the other Girls are back on the beach, Madeline is in the hotel bored and lonely as she watches her friends sadly. She tries to entertain herself with games, but nothing can restore her spirits. Lord Cucuface tries to entertain her with cards and soup, but then he brings out his projector to show her his very boring old videos of himself; This of course fails to entertain Madeline. Then he just remembered he has a friends who makes movies and gave them a call. Madeline watches some of the movies.
The director Victor arrives at the hotel with an actress: Ms. Twinklestar. Lord Cucuface introduces them to Madeline. If Madeline cannot come to the show due to her burn, then the show must come to Madeline. He invited other actors at the Suite-Inn. They're all quite vain and they got Madeline's attention. The rest of the Girls return to the Suite-Inn surprised. The girls decide to make their own fun and Madeline tells the bored movie stars to use their imagination and they can make their own fun via montage.
