Plot



A young girl, Violette goes to live with her grandmother after her parents, Adam and Mlanie separate. Thus she rarely gets an opportunity to see her busy parents. Her mother is concerned at her daughter's clumsiness and convinces her estranged husband to take her to see a doctor. The medical examination reveals that Violette has a brain tumour and is likely to die within a few months. Adam decides to take Violette on a road trip to Italy where her mother is rehearsing for a play. Violette disapproves of her father's new girlfriend and longs to see her parents reunited. Upon the realisation that Violette only has days left to live, Adam and Mlanie attempt to make their daughter's wish a reality.[http://filmsdefrance.com/FDF_Le_Petit_prince_a_dit_rev.html Synopsis] Films de France.
