Synopsis
Félix Mayol was very well known, becoming one of the great stars of the early 20th century. But now, the name Mayol no longer evokes anything. In Toulon, the rugby stadium bears his name as well as a shopping center...
But who knows what Toulon owes to "Godfather Félix", whose Rugby Club Toulonnais nevertheless continues to display its emblem, the lily of the valley? Who knows that, behind the drama and adversity, but also the success and fame, he knew how to remain faithful to his values: legendary generosity, an immense sense of humor... and his immoderate passion for his discipline, the café-concert, and Toulon his hometown.
The film paints the portrait of a great man of song, behind whom hides above all a beautiful person, but who was in his time hurt and humiliated because of his homosexuality never revealed to the general public. Like a road trip, the film tells the story of one personality who inspires another, convinced that she can also inspire each of us.
