PETITE CHARTREUSE (LA)
a film by :Jean-Pierre Denis
Etienne, a bookstore owner with an outstanding memory, is a loner with two passions in life – literature and mountains. But one day he accidentally runs over eight-year-old Eva. Finding himself between Eva and Pascale, the young mother, who is unable to cope with her responsibilities, Etienne, the “story teller”, surrogate father, is going to achieve the miracle of Prince Charming….
Etienne Vollard, un libraire passionné de montagne et doué d’une mémoire hors du commun, mène une existence plutôt solitaire jusqu'au jour où il renverse accidentellement Eva, une fillette de huit ans. Entre Eva, au chevet de laquelle il se retrouve et Pascale, la jeune mère incapable de faire face, Etienne, le « raconteur d’histoires, » père de substitution, va accomplir le miracle du prince charmant.
