Chouchou (2002) follows the journey of a young North African man who assumes the identity of a Chilean exile to gain entry into France. He is taken in by Father Leon, who oversees a parish in a Parisian suburb. Despite quickly discovering Chouchou's true identity, Father Leon shows no resentment and secures him a job as a receptionist and cleaner for a psychoanalyst, Nicole Milovavich. Chouchou navigates his tumultuous living situation with Brother Jean and his new job, immersing himself in a world vastly different from his own. He gradually adapts and begins to thrive. In his quest to find his nephew, he discovers him performing as a torch singer named Vanessa at a cabaret called The Apocalypse. Chouchou, who occasionally dresses as a transvestite, quickly becomes part of the cabaret family. He meets Stanislas, a regular patron, and they fall in love. Chouchou's happiness is disrupted when Lieutenant Grégoire, a patient of Doctor Milovavich with peculiar behavior issues, enters the picture, threatening the idyllic life Chouchou has built.
