Synopsis

Martin Clement escapes his family, his father's tyranny and his mother's resignation. He runs away from the intolerance, rejection and the bullying he suffered from being singled out as 'different.' Against all odds, he finds allies. Madeleine Clement, the middle school principal who introduces him to theatre; Abel Pinto, who encourages him to tell his story on stage; and Isabelle Huppert, who helps him produce his show. Marvin/Martin will risk everything to create this show that represents so much more than success: growing up, being gay, the art of performance, and a path to re-invention.

'Fontaine's direction remains so centered on the people that it can't help but move us.'-Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
