NRThrough the testimony of those who met him, the film proposes to discover the complex personality of Guillaume Depardieu. It is also the story of a destiny that was shattered too soon, of a wounded man, revolted, disturbed by his childhood and to whom adulthood brought no appeasement. Finally, a man with a rare talent, being able to express himself with an amazing virtuosity, both as an actor and as a musician.
