Film Synopsis

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...
