Carl may be 72, but he's young at heart. Every night he goes door-to-door delivering books by hand to his loyal customers, carefully selecting the perfect story for each person. One evening, nine-year-old Schascha appears. Loud and precocious, she insists on accompanying him - and even tries to teach him a thing or two about books. When Carl's job at the bookstore is threatened, will the old man and the girl in the yellow raincoat be able to restore Carl's way of life, and return the joy of reading to his little European town ?
