Synopsis
On a farm in a remote part of French countryside, Betty lives alone with her ten year old son Tommy.  The latter has never known his father and imagines him to be an astronaut.  Each night, Tommy watches the sky, waiting for his father’s return.   Betty hasn’t the heart to tell him the truth, and, besides, she has problems of her own.  She struggles to earn enough money and her attempts to find a man to take the place of Tommy’s father have so far proven fruitless.  Seeing his mother’s unhappiness, Tommy finds a way to cheer her up.  When he sees a travelling circus, he persuades Betty to give the performers permission to set up camp on her land.  He strikes up an immediate friendship with the two clowns Auguste and Baptiste, one of whom takes a liking to his mother...
