In a small French town, Germain (Gérard Depardieu), a nearly illiterate man in his 50's and considered to be the village idiot by his friends at the local bistro, takes a walk to the park one day and happens to sit beside Margueritte, a little old lady who is reading excerpts from her novel aloud. She's articulate, highly intelligent and frail. Between Germain and Margueritte, there are 40 years and 200 pounds difference. Germain is lured by Margueritte's passion for life and the magic of literature from which he has always felt excluded. (Cohen Media Group)

Nice and honest confession of two people, who talk while they feed pigeons, which is unaffected and nice to look at. Gérard Depardieu portrays his typical simpleton with his heart at the right place and Gisèle Casadesus in the autumn of her life evaluates what she has lived through and experienced. This encounter of two nice people features a volume of enjoyable conversations, so I have enjoyed this visit into the world of these two souls with pleasure.
