Summary
François Maréchal is the owner of a video store. He
leads a peaceful but dull life with his wife Blanche and their infant son, until the
day he watches Singin’ in the Rain
for the first time. The film is a revelation for him and he
immediately wants to become a tap dancer. He throws himself body
and soul into his new obsession, neglecting his family as he does
so. But this proves to be far more than a harmless craze.
It allows him to make contact with his past and learn the truth about
his father...
