Comedy set in provincial France starring Gerard Depardieu. From French filmmaker Jean Becker (Conversations with My Gardener, Elisa).
Germain (Depardieu) is a semiliterate 50-something whose home is a trailer on his mother's front lawn. Despite their poisonous relationship and being the butt of jokes, Germain finds comfort in tending to his vegetable patch, carving wood figurines, or feeding the pigeons in the local park. It’s in the park he meets Margueritte (Gisèle Casadesus), a sweet elderly lady who charms Germain with her zest for life and her love for literature. He begins to see life anew with the great French novels that she reads to him.
