The Incorrigible Optimists Club

Paris in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the era of rock 'n' roll and the Algerian War. Twelve heroes at the age when you have it all: high school, family conflict, parental divorce, after all, life in general - is quite difficult. So Michelle Marini is not so much concerned with learning as kicking, music, photography and reading. Thanks to his talent for scoring goals with a small red ball, he became a regular at the Balto bistro. There, in a hidden room nicknamed the Club of Incorrigible Optimists, he found shelter and friends-intellectuals who, to save their lives, crossed the Iron Curtain. This meeting changed Michelle's life once and for all. Because all these people were incorrigible optimists.
