Jean, an adorable 5 year-old boy, relates his daily life and little adventures with his sour-tempered teacher Madame Moinot, his busy dad, his nanny Yvette (the Queen of iced chocolate), his little brother Paul (with whom he's always fighting) and his neighbor Michèle (whose parents own a kennel). But Jean feels a great emptiness inside and asks "Where is my Mommy?" With sensitivity and emotion, but never lapsing into melodrama, Bravo and Regnaud tell their story and remind us that children are not the only ones who would rather invent than deal with reality. |
