Paris, 1959. As dusk settles over the immigrant quarter,
12-year-old Michel Marini - amateur photographer and compulsive
reader - is drawn to the hum of the local bistro. From his usual
position at the football table, he has a vantage point on a
grown-up world - of rock 'n' roll and of the Algerian War. But as
the sun sinks and the plastic players spin, Michel's concentration
is not on the game, but on the huddle of men gathered in the
shadows of a back room... Past the bar, behind a partly drawn
curtain, a group of eastern European men gather, where under a
cirrus of smoke and over the squares of chess boards, they tell of
their lives before France - of lovers and wives, children and
ambitions, all exiled behind the Iron Curtain. Listening to this
band of survivors and raconteurs, Michel is introduced to a world
beyond the boundaries of his childhood experience, a world of men
made formidable in the face of history, ideas and politics: the
world of the Incorrigible Optimists Club.
