Synopsis:

*********THIS DVD'S DESCRIPTION HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED YET********
An editor discovers a novel that she considers to be a masterpiece in a library whose particularity is to collect the manuscripts refused by publishers. The text is signed 'Henri Pick', a Breton pizza-maker who died two years earlier.

In Brittany, a librarian decides to collect any books that have been rejected by publishers and is promptly inundated with all manner of manuscripts. Among them, a young publisher discovers what she believes to be a masterpiece, written by a certain Henri Pick. She sets out to track down the author, only to learn that he died two years earlier. According to his widow, he never read a single book or wrote anything more than a shopping list. Did he have a secret life? Shrouded in mystery, Pick's book becomes a huge hit and has surprising consequences for the literary world.

In a bizarre Breton library that collects rejected, never published manuscripts, a young editor discovers a novel that she considers a masterpiece. It was written by a certain Henri Pick, a cook who died two years earlier and who, according to his widow, had never read a book in his life or written anything but a shopping list... Did he have a secret life? When the book becomes a huge best-seller, Jean- Michel Rouche, a skeptical and stubborn literary critic, teams up with Joséphine, Pick?s daughter, to unravel the mystery. What if this story was only a conspiracy...?
