About

When Francois, a journalist, tours a big store for an article, he is chosen by the son of the newspaper's owner, Rambal-Cochet, as his new toy. Needing money and unwilling to quit his job, Francois agrees to this ridiculous assignment. Gradually befriending the spoiled boy, he induces him to play at making a newspaper, unveiling publicly the tyrannical way of life of the father. The powerful emotional climax we experience with the child astonishes both men.

A whimsical sense of absurdity drifts through this gentle comedy about a journalist forced to play the role of a living doll for a lonely heir. Beneath the ridiculous premise lies a tender connection that turns a bizarre job into a lesson in genuine human play.
