The Donkey Who Drank the Moon (1988)
In a small village in the Corbieres, a grandfather tells his grandson five tales from his repertoire. The first one follows three young people who went to Paris to learn French. "Le Maire de Quillan" tells how a pig became mayor of the village. "Le Moine change en ane" is a story with four characters where the monk and the donkey become one. "The Donkey who drank the moon" is a facetious story that embroiders on misunderstandings. The last one is a tale in formation.
