L’homme à la courge and the six series that accompany it, are a modern tale whose plot is love, Paris and cucurbits.
The titles are as follows : L’homme à la courge, L’homme à la courge et à la fille, L’homme et la fille et à la citrouille, L’homme à la coloquinte volante et la fille, L’homme et la fille au concombre errant, L’homme et la fille à l’amant au pâtisson I, L’homme et la fille à l’amant au pâtisson II.
For four seasons, we follow the stroll of a Montmartre kid, like a Francisque Poulbot heros's, throughout the four corners of Paris. While walking his squash, not a penny in his pocket, just a small room on the roofs, but with a heart full of joy and love, he meets his Cinderella. Together they will wait for the coming off a pumpkin.
In Charles Perrault's famous tale, Cinderella, the first magical act of the fairy godmother is to transform a pumpkin from the garden into a carriage. This is the first moment where we know that Cinderella will finally be helped to find happiness. And let's not forget the moral of the story:
“This is undoubtedly a great advantage
To have spirit, courage,
From birth, from common sense,
And other similar talents,
Which we receive from Heaven as a share;
But even if you have them,
For your advancement these things will be in vain,
If you do not have, to assert them,
Or a godfather or godmothers. »
Three centuries later, squash, colocynths, pumpkins, squash, and cucumbers accompany this couple, like the discreet presence of a good godmother guiding their walk through the city and their initiation into life.
Everything here is conciliatory, humble and contemplative on the path to happiness.
