Like millions of others worldwide, 40-year-old François Nouel is a Tour de France fan. Unbeatable on anything to do with the race, he spends as much time as he can on his bike, to escape from a disappointing everyday existence. At work, he's restricted to bicycle displays. And things at home are no better: his son thinks he's a loser and his wife berates him for being a coward. So when his wife discovers on the eve of his holidays that he's been volunteered to work on the Tour, it's too much: she tells him she wants a divorce and leaves with his son. Then he meets Rémi Pletinckx, a depressive former sports manager who's also at the end of his rope. Under Pletinckx's influence, François makes up his mind to live his childhood dream: to do the Tour de France. The race begins tomorrow. If he leaves now, one day ahead of the pros, he could even get to Paris before them.
