Já adulto, sua vida se resumia a viver de bicos, ainda ser alvo de brincadeira dos amigos e, principalmente, conviver com o eterno desamor da mãe. Contudo, quando Margueritte (Gisèle Casadesus) faz com que as páginas de um livro se abram novamente para ele, este reencontro com o universo das letras amplia seu horizonte e o único limite - agora - será somente a sua vontade.
