Thirteen-year-old Grégoire vividly remembers his first teacher describing him: "A head like a sieve, golden hands, and a huge heart..." That's how he lives day after day: he adores his grandfather, dabbles in crafts, and hates school, where his parents rush him every morning.
One day, learning of a lycée where boys are constantly tinkering, he locks himself in his room, writes a funny and touching letter asking to be allowed to study there, enclosing the plans for his first invention—a banana peeler—in the envelope, and... anxiously waits. Maybe grades really aren't the most important thing after all, and it's far more important to know what you want from life?
