A portrait of Gérard Blain, actor and film-maker, an unclassifiable artist, a lard-head and a free spirit. This documentary, packed with eyewitness accounts and archive footage, looks back at his brief career as an actor, his stormy relationship with the Nouvelle Vague and his uncompromising work as a filmmaker. Above all, it paints the portrait of a man with an irreducible character who claims to have always hated adults and their cynicism, ever since his damaged childhood.
