Overview

A village idiot and an articulate writer forge an unusual bond after a chance meeting in a local park. Germain is in his fifties, and completely illiterate; Margueritte is in her nineties, and shares her passion for writing with anyone who will listen. Her favorite pastime is to sit in the park and read excerpts from her novel for passersby.
