Plot

[edit]

Léo Ménard works as a sexton in a small parish. When the Parisian singer Mary Pinson performs in his village he's asked to accompany her on his accordion, because the pianist is unavailable. His nightly performance causes a scandal in the Catholic community and he loses his job. He leaves to Paris to look up the singer.

Comme beaucoup pourraient le penser, le cœur sur la main n’est pas une expression. L’expression est : la main sur le cœur (générosité)
