My Afternoons With Marguerite (15)

This is the uplifting story of one of those chance encounters that can radically change the course of your life. Germain (Depardieu) is a large, unmarried and almost illiterate man in his fifties.

Marguerite is a tiny elderly woman with a passion for the written word. When Germain happens to sit beside Marguerite on a park bench and she reads him extracts from her novels, an unlikely friendship develops.

Under Marguerite’s tutelage, Germain discovers a love of literature and with it, a wisdom that confounds his friends at the bistro, who have always treated him like an idiot. As Marguerite begins to lose her eyesight, Germain sees an opportunity to use his love for this sweet and mischievous grandma to improve both his own life and hers.
