Clodo, a gentle mongrel dog, isn't having much luck. His shaggy appearance has earned him the name of hobo. Often scolded by his Parisian masters for being a nuisance, his only consolation is Cathy, his youngest daughter. Unfortunately, she can't stop her parents from abandoning Clodo at vacation time. Fabien, a young farmer, takes the dog in, despite the hostility of his family. Fabien is secretly in love with his childhood friend, Arlène, "la demoiselle du château", who has left to study in Paris. But she returns home after a disappointment. Their relationship resumes.
Directed by Georges Clair, Clodo leans on a strong ensemble — Georges Clair, Arlène Clair, Colette Renard — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1971.
