Giorno di festa (1949)
La quiete del villaggio di Saint Sévère viene sconvollta per la giornata di festa. Vengono montate giostre e tiro a segno e un tendone per proiettare un film. Tutti gli abitanti preparano gli abiti "buoni". Il postino François, che ha appena visto un documentario sull'efficenza delle poste negli Stati Uniti, si lancia con la sua bicicletta in inseguimenti spericolati. Tra le burle dei compaesani, finisce in una corsa ciclistica e ha altre disavventure finchè la sua bici se ne andrà da sola come dotata di vita autonoma e lui concluderà che l'efficienza statunitense non si adatta alla campagna francese.
