Plot – Jerry Baskin is a vagabond who lives in Los Angeles with his dog Matisse. One day the dog disappears and Jerry vainly looks for him. He's desperate, he enters the garden of a beautiful villa and attempts suicide by throwing himself in the big pool. Dave Whiteman, the owner, notices him and saves the man. Jerry is hosted several days by Whiteman family because Dave wants to help the vagabond at all costs. His extravagant son Max immediately likes the stranger, while his wife Barbara, busy in yoga sessions, is undecided whether to keep Jerry at home or not.
