Podium
Directed by Yann Moix
Produced by Fidélité Productions, K2 SA
A bittersweet comedy about a middle-aged man torn between domestic responsibility and the intoxicating allure of performing as his idol, exploring the cost of chasing applause over connection.
Bernand Fréderic is a mediocre bank executive. He's married and has a son. He used to have another profession: being French star Claude Francois. Now, with the Imitators Gala Night coming up, he must choose between his wife or the only thing that makes him happy: the applause.
