Jacques Villeret is considered one of the greatest actors in French cinema. He leaves his mark with his acting, his expressions and his passion for his job. Known for his interpretations of generally funny and endearing characters, he particularly distinguished himself with the French public by playing his roles in La Soupe aux choux, Papy fait de la résistance, and Le Dîner de cons. He grew up in Loches, in Indre et Loire, above his mother's hairdressing salon. The town is full of frescoes and statues in his image. His former classmates and the town's shopkeepers remember his youth, already making the other children laugh in the schoolyard. Through their stories and the crossing of the town, we return to the places of this great actor's childhood.
