Michel, ex-junkie, is a grown-up kid who only dreams about motorbikes and hanging around with his son Léo and his friends. He is 50 and has to look after the baby he's just had with his ex-girlfriend, and is fighting not to make the same mistakes and to be a good guy.
Maxime Roy made his first short, Beautiful Loser, in 2018, with François and Roméo Créton, Romane Bohringer and Youssef Hajdi. The film won awards at Clermont-Ferrand, Premiers Plans d'Angers, Alès, Aubagne, Namur, before being nominated for a César.

His 3 shorts, all produced by TS productions, were screened in festivals around the world and broadcast on Arte. Les Héroïques is his first feature.
