Synopsis

Since always, Auguste Bard, driver of the Nice coach, Monte Carlo, were a subject of repulsion for his entourage. Its ugliness did not enable him to know the love. Cardiac and having only little time to live, it decides to take an early withdrawal and to have a child. Surrounded by a rough family to the profit, it gains twenty five million with the casino and, accompanied by his faithful friend and Antonio colleague, it rents the services of a pretty Donata dancer, who deeply touched by her kindness, will give him a few months later, a superb boy. By learning the news, Bard will fall asleep of its last sleep, a happy smile with the lips.
