September 1980. Coluche (François-Xavier Demaison) shines every night on stage. France's favorite comedian is at the peak of his career. TV, radio and newspapers chase him down, and his home was the place to see and be seen. Always, ready to push even more buttons, he decides to run for the presidency just for kicks! The people respond with laughter, cheer hima long, and support him. The polls go nuts and his popularity explodes. What if a clown were to actually become a serious presidential contender and even win the presidency? The clown himself begins to believe it's possible. Until his larger-than-life dream spins out of control, and this beloved figure ends up tragically defeated. (AZ Films)
