Pierre will be a shepherd, like his father, and hes proud of it!
A shepherd is serious, solid and authoritarian, but Pierre is quite the opposite...
So at night, when nothing is off-limits, he runs for a breath of fresh air to a good woman with a strong character. Rita is a recluse surrounded only by birds. Sure, shes got a hooked nose and a few warts, and she swears and frowns, but Pierre is sure shes a real saint who works miracles !
Pierre is fascinated by her eccentric medical practices, and the old woman christens her nocturnal facet Bergeronnette.
But what will Rita do with her little finch if she learns one day that he is a boy ?
