My Afternoons with Margueritte

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, 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.
