Plot

An illiterate and lonely man bonds with an older and well-read woman.

The prolific and beloved actor Gérard Depardieu stars as a simple semi-literate gardener coming from a harsh past when a chance friendship with a fragile sophisticated well-read old woman draws him into a much gentler environment where he remembers every word. Makes you think of Forrest Gump a la française. His girlfriend does not understand what is happening and his friends laugh at him.
