Lição de Amor

François is a photographer, clerk and all around helper for professor Bibi in his store. He longs to be a professional tour guide and wear the snappy uniform of the top Parisian guides. When not at Bibi's, he haunts the guide company for a job.

François would focus his services not on the dull museums or places of history, but on the romantic alure of gay Paree. At night time, he shares makeshift rooms with other carefree souls atop a building that is managed by Pierre. They have a communal evening dinner together. Each contributes to the repast in his or her own way. Francois provides the meat and vegetables.

But, the Bohemian community changes when Francois rescues Madeleine from a mean carnival knife-thrower. She is his ward but runs away from the nasty Marco. Madeleine creates sparks or romance among more than one member of François' little world.
