Overview
Ah the sweet atmosphere of the football stadiums and its language more flowery than the gardens of Babylon!… As if these gentlemen, whether they are supporters or players, have a concern with their masculinity. Some might say it's part of folklore, but in reality it's not a party for everyone. Yoann Lemaire, former Ardennes footballer, paid the price in 2010 when his club dismissed him following his coming out. Since then, he has campaigned to lift the great taboo against homosexuality in football, and sport in general. Between testimonies and interviews on the ground, the director Michel Royer, nine years after Sport and Homosexualities, is making a film wishing to reflect the work of a militant man to free speech, change mentalities and add colors to the flag " Black, White, Arab ".
