After graduating from university Eric thinks that its time to get away from formal education. He heads off to France on his own chosen adventure. Eric is a happy-go-lucky guy at heart and quite content to find work on a French chicken farm belonging to a farmer named Willy. From the very first day however things go wrong.

He begins to feel that he can do nothing right and broods all day long over his errors. He begins to wonder if he should just pack up and go home but being a quitter doesnt sit right with him.
