70 year-old Adrien is a king in his Cotter mountain resort, where he lives making fun of the stressed mankind and talking to the stars. In the valley they call him "God" and he is not far from believing that he really is.
It takes a trip to China and many surprises, encounters and finally an angel to make him realize that he was a king only because he was alone, to regain his frailty and to wish to get in contact with ordinary people, plain but alive.
