Plot

Philippe Croizon, a 26-year-old metal worker at Fonderies du Poitou, had no idea that his life would be turned upside down on March 5, 1994. On that day, the young father received three 20,000 V shocks while trying to dismantle the TV antenna hanging from the chimney of his house in Saint-Rémy-sur-Creuse.

Sinekatalog’s take

An uplifting story built on a factory worker's life-changing accident and what he decides to do afterwards. It mixes drama and light humor with an inspirational arc. Aimed at viewers who enjoy true-story films about resilience and reinvention.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
