synopsis

When the woman who broke his heart more than 25 years ago suddenly reappears, a former boxer seizes every chance to regain both his true love and sporting honour. Their passionate relationship came to an abrupt end when, during the 1979 Belgian Championship fight, his opponent claimed that he had made love to his girlfriend. That evening, our naïve boxer not only lost the championship but also the love of his life. Now that she's back, he's determined to regain her love and show the world that he's no loser.
Lorsque la femme qui brisa son cœur plus de 25 années plus tôt refait soudainement surface, un ancien boxer saisit toutes les chances pour regagner à la fois son véritable amour et son honneur de sportif. Leur relation passionnelle prit une fin brusque lorsque, lors du championnat belge de 1979, son adversaire annonça qu’il avait fait l’amour avec sa copine. Ce soir-là, notre boxer naïf perdit non seulement le championnat, mais aussi l’amour de sa vie. Mais maintenant qu’elle est de retour, il est plus que jamais déterminé à la reconquérir et à montrer au monde qu’il n’est pas un perdant. Une comédie réconfortante du réalisateur du film Everybody Famous, nominé aux Oscars.
