Samuel is 10 years old. He's keeping a diary, and he has a problem. His problem is that Basile told the tall Julie that Samuel loved her. Which isn't true, he doesn't care about Julie. It's only that, she laughed at one of his jokes once and he thought she was nice to do so.

In this contemporary retelling of the Cinderella story, a feisty 18-year-old Italian-American New Yorker named Cindy is sent off to Rome with her irascible stepmother and vain stepsisters. On the way, she meets, and falls in love with, globetrotting bagpacker Mizio, who eventually turns out to be of Italian nobility. There's a fairy stand-in in the form of a spaced-out astrologer, a dance, and she even loses a shoe at one point. Care to venture a guess how it all turns out?

In January 1986, Coluche, who a few months earlier founded the association of Restos du Cœur, brought together artists, public figures and politicians on television to promote the association and its actions. Jean-Jacques Goldman composed La Chanson des Restos, which was interpreted by several personalities and went on tour to benefit of the association. After Coluche died suddenly in June of 1986, his widow Veronique Colucci relaunched the initiative as a new television program in December of that year.
