A former television host now fronting infomercials reveals his celebrated past to a filmmaker who wants to tell the story of his life. However, a dearth of archival footage about his years in television leaves the TV host feeling bitter about the medium that brought him fame. He turns his back on his biographer and runs away, leaving several people shaken by his disappearance. A finely rendered chronicle of a groundbreaking period in Quebec’s television history, this comedy drama is, first and foremost, a story about two men from vastly different worlds: one is well-groomed, the other has a neglected appearance; one is articulate, the other is somewhat shy and ill at ease; one hails from a working-class background, the other is from an intellectual, marginal milieu; one is a “biographer’s subject,” the other a “biographer.” Their meeting leads to friendship–one which ultimately reveals the vulnerability of human beings.
