Belleville Rendez-Vous
|
|
Champion, a sad and lonely young boy, has recently been adopted by Madam Sousa, a Portuguese widow. Noticing his passion for cycling, Madam Sousa convinces Champion to embark on an intensive training program. His training is so successful that he eventually qualifies as a cyclist in the famous Tour de France. During the race, however, Champion is kidnapped by two members of the French Mafia. Madam Sousa and her faithful dog Bruno go off in search of him, and their travels take them to the city of Belleville, in Canada. There, they meet the Triplettes de Belleville, a “home-made-jazz” trio of three elderly ladies who decide to take Madam Sousa and Bruno under their wing. Thanks to Bruno’s sense of smell, they pick up Champion’s trace. Will they succeed in undermining the French Mafia’s plans? |
