Into the mournful Moreau family, still grieving over the long-ago death of their son, comes Yves Le Guen, a black man from Brittany and a handyman by trade, stirring up the gloomy stillness of their lives.Prim and proper Madame Moreau, Monsieur Moreau the stiff-necked businessman and even Martha, the mute maid, are beguiled, bewildered and transformed by the outsider in their midst.
