Marseille Marx, in the past, a bohemian writer, moves to the port city of Havre and becomes a cleaner of boots. The lesson, although not very bread, gives Marcel a feeling of benefit for people. Putting the cross on his writer`s ambitions, Marseille is quite pleased with life, spending it between work, home and the nearest tavern. But once fate encounters him with a child-immigrant from Black Africa, and the wife of Marseille Arletti gets seriously ill.

Marseille weapons are only congenital optimism and support for numerous friends. Can he defeat this unequal struggle? ..
