Synopsis

The legendary French soldier Chauvin, who gave his name to the even more famous chauvinism, gets a lifetime achievement award. At that reception, his heroic and patriotic feats are recounted. Halfway between a reenactment and stand-up comedy, doubts about the past and inflamed nationalisms abound, as is the case today in France and on other fronts. (MMF)
