Eddy, a 11-year-old cycling talent, is the son of a local butcher in the back of beyond. When the village’s first supermarket opens its doors in 1975, Eddy’s isolated life is turned upside down. To celebrate its opening, the supermarket organizes a bicycle race, the winner of which will get to meet Eddy Merckx. Eddy’s father, a fervent opponent of the supermarket, wants nothing to do with the race. Eddy enters surreptitiously. Participation in the race opens up a new world, not only for Eddy, but also for all those around him.
