12 year old Zazie is dumped on her uncle by her mum who, as Z. is well aware, is going to spend the weekend with her lover. Uncle is a transsexual nightclub dancer, and Z. wants to know if he is 'hormosessual' (probably not, he has a very cool girlfriend). However her main interest is to go on the Metro, but of course it's 'en greve' (on strike). From a novel by Raymond Queneau written in almost impossible slang french. Not a film that could ever have been made in Hollywood.
