Film Synopsis

During his holidays, Albert becomes acquainted with Françoise, a provincial young girl who is a devotee of glossy Parisian magazines.  Believing her new acquaintance to be her beau idéal, Françoise persuades Albert to take her with him to Paris.  Here, he introduces her to his mother, who manages a dance school.  When her dreams end in disappointment, Françoise takes refuge at the home of her aunt, a spinster whose brother is the editor on a well-known newspaper.  The latter has the brilliant idea of building a novel around Françoise, a novel in which a young woman returns to Paris to find her Prince Charming, a little boy she met in a park ten years previously.  This delightful fable becomes a big success on television and Françoise's face is plastered all over the newspapers.  The only person who is unhappy at this turn of events is Albert who is determined to put an end to all this nonsense publicity...
