Portrait of three filmmakers who make feature-length films against all odds, without means or subsidies: war films, thrillers, fantasy, etc. Gendarme, sacristan, sales agent, bricklayer or unemployed, they all share the same passion for cinema. Far from being amateurish, their films are surprising in their boldness and creativity. They reinvent art without even realizing it.
A co-production of Saga Film (Belgium), Flight Movie (France), Wallonie Image Production (WIP), RTBF (Belgian television) and Ciné-Cinéma, with the support of the Centre du Cinéma et de l'Audiovisuel de la Communauté Française de Belgique, the Walloon Region and Walloon Télédistributeurs, and the participation of the Centre National de la Cinématographie and Procirep-Angoa.
