Screenplay
Baseado no livro “La Tête en Friche”, de Marie-Sabine Roger.
Quando criança, Germain (Gérard Depardieu) foi chamado de burro na escola por todos e em casa, com sua mãe solteira, não era diferente. A dificuldade de ler se perpetuou numa espécie de bloqueio intelectual. 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.
