A tender, whimsical portrait of an unlikely friendship between a kind-hearted mute janitor and a young girl, set against the melancholy backdrop of Paris.

A poignant comedy about a mute who befriends Nicole, the little daughter of a prostitute. Gleason shows his considerable talents as an actor without uttering a sound as he plays the bumbling, kind-hearted janitor, Gigot. Gleason wrote the original story and music for this film.
