La Grande Boucle

Tour de Force

Like millions of others worldwide, 40-year-old François Nouel (Clovis Cornillac) is a die-hard Tour de France fan. Unbeatable on anything to do with the race, he spends as much time as he can on his bike and dreams of being a professional. When his wife discovers on the eve of his holidays that he’s been volunteered to work on the Tour, it’s all too much: she tells him she’s leaving with his son in tow. Then he meets Rémi Pletinckx (Bouli Lanners), a depressed former sports manager who’s also come to the end of his tether. Under Pletinckx’s influence, François makes up his mind to live his childhood dream: to take the plunge and do the Tour de France himself.
