Synopsis
Gérard is a tennis player of no mean talent - he has just beaten the top seeded Frenchman - but his real passion in life is cinema.  With a group of like-minded film fanatics, he sets out to make a cinéma vérité film, armed with his hidden microphone, a camera mounted on his shoulder, and miles of film.  A school for strip-tease artistes, German tourists, a prostitute, a legionnaire... these are just a few of the subjects that the budding filmmaker includes in his masterpiece.  When his film proves to be a great success, Gérard instantly becomes famous.  With his girlfriend, he sets out for Hollywood where a great role awaits him, that of Voltaire...
