Odette is a six years old girl. She is living in a foster home in the south of France when she meets a night custodian and decides he should be her father. To look for him, Odette escapes with the help of an old Argentinian prostitute, Signorina Rosario Rossi, who has quite an original philosophy of life, and her ex-boyfriend, don Vito Palladino, an irreverent parish priest. A story about the meaning of our place in the world, a world in which an idiot can turn out to be more brilliant than anyone else.
