Kad Merad: I believe I can fly, Annie Réval, Bernard Réval

Kad Merad is popular! With "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis," a man with a burlesque universe entered the esteem of a very vast public, which opened up a royal road for him to a long-hoped-for career. How did this hyperactive comedian manage to generate such enthusiasm? By what enchantment did he become the most sought-after actor in the profession? Why are his latest films, "Faubourg 36," "Mes stars et moi," "Safari," "Le petit Nicolas," "RTT," "Protéger et Servir," "L'immortel," "L'Italien..." so many milestones marking his new journey? Where does the artist of a thousand faces find this energy and this incredible ability to adapt to such different roles? Annie and Bernard Reval propose to answer all these questions. They analyze this success with the help of unpublished anecdotes supported by numerous revealing testimonies from Karin Viard, Liane Foly, Zoé Félix, Valérie Benguigui, Patrick Bosso, Manu Lévy, Henri Guybet, Maria de Medeiros, Julien Rappeneau, and from directors, producers, writers, actors, singers, close friends, and family. They tell us the other side of the mirror..., the astonishing story of one of the most promising actors of his time: his youth in Ris-Orangis, his teenage rock bands (from his middle school years to the Gigolos Brothers), his initiation to theater, his constant complicity with Olivier Baroux, his first steps in radio and television, his unwavering friendship with Florent Pagny, his periods of light and shadow, his doubts, his certainties, his beginnings in cinema, and finally..., the explosion of a career that is now soaring beyond the borders of France.
