With more than 70 years of career, Claude Crest is more than ever a living legend of comedy. From his childhood in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve to the historic success of his number La Balloune, this documentary will take you through an inspiring life that is far from being at its last chapter.

Set in the Faubourg à mélasse district of Montreal, Quebec, in the 1950s, the film centres on a conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and a young team of baseball players.
