خلاصه داستان : پل مرد شیرینی است که از زمان مرگ والدینش در زمانی که کودک نوپا بود توسط دو عمه عجیب و غریبش در پاریس بزرگ شده شده است. الان سی و سه است، هنوز حرف نمی زند. خاله های پل تنها یک آرزو برای او دارند: برنده شدن در مسابقات پیانو.

Paul is a sweet man-child, raised — and smothered — by his two eccentric aunts in Paris since the death of his parents when he was a toddler. Now thirty-three, he still does not speak. Paul's aunts have only one dream for him: to win piano competitions. Although Paul practices dutifully, he remains unfulfilled until he submits to the interventions of his upstairs neighbour. Suitably named after the novelist, Madame Proust offers Paul a concoction that unlocks repressed memories from his childhood and awakens the most delightful of fantasies.
