In this intimate documentary, the life and work of French film critic and filmmaker Jean-Claude Biette are tenderly revealed through a portrait by his friend Françoise Lebrun, joined by Pascal Cervo and Mathieu Amalric, among others. With a quiet reverence, the filmmakers capture the essence of Biette's unassuming yet profound influence on French cinema, as glimpsed through rare archival footage and private conversations with those closest to him.
