Chance is a quirky gardener, whose life is reduced to tending the garden of the mansion of a rich man, however, when he dies, Chance must venture into the outside world. This way he meets Eve, a woman who takes him into her home, and little by little, despite his simplistic view of the world, he manages to fool many people into believing that he is a great politician. This satire with an original premise, starring Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine, is an unusual and ingenious film that has become a cult classic.
