With her mother away for the weekend, Zazie--an opinionated, brash, and precocious ten-year-old country girl--is entrusted to artistic Uncle Gabriel. But, more than anything in the world, lively Zazie wants to ride the busy Métro; however, today, of all days, the subway is shut down by a strike. Now, as Gabriel struggles to give Zazie a guided tour, the fearless child sets out to explore the picturesque and bustling Parisian metropolis, encountering many exciting characters while causing chaos in the very heart of the city. After all, don't we all have equal rights to liberty and anarchy?
