Overview

Ferdinand rents a cellar for 200 euros a month. But that’s still too much. The arrival of the Olympic Games in Paris makes him dream big, but he only gets a temporary job at the Stade de France and gets swallowed up by the noise and fury of the Games. At night, Ferdinand learns to write songs with his best friend Juliette and turns his cramped cellar into a place of comfort.
