After being sent home for dozing in class, eight‑year‑old Tistou’s father decides to educate him through experience, starting in the garden with gardener Mr. Moustache. Tistou discovers a magical “green thumb,” making anything he touches blossom. He then follows the strict Mr. Turnbull, manager of his father’s armaments factory, on a town tour—prison, slums, hospital—learning about order, war, and the consequences of his power as he tries to improve the world.
