Synopsis
Germain Chazes (Gerard Depardieu) is in his mid 50s and lives a
quiet life with his girlfriend Annette (Sophie Guillemin). He can
often be found at the local bar, in the park counting the pigeons or
in the vegetable garden, where he grows produce to take to market.
Germain's father left his mother when she fell pregnant and she
remains bitter about the whole affair, which has left her unfairly
hostile towards Germain. At school, Germain never learned to read
adequately and was frequently the butt of his teacher's jokes.
One day, in the park, he meets Margueritte (Gisele Casadesus), an
old lady whose work took her all over the world and who shares her
love of books with Germain. Soon, a true bond of affection unites
them, and Germain realizes that he has the right to take control of
his destiny...
