In the public mind, Cyril Collard is famous for one film "Wild Nights", a hero struck down by fate at the height of success, becoming at his death the symbol of that whole generation which is sometimes called the AIDS generation.
However seen through the eyes and stories of those who were in close touch with him in the various circles of his professional life – editors, musicians, filmmakers, script writers, actors, technicians... – and those intimate with him from the short relatives and friends filmed in the very surroundings which were those of his own life, what is revealed is the wide range of desires of Cyril Collard. The inexhaustible energy of the man who knew he was condemned eight years before he died and who fought to the last. And also the other side of this hunger for life which sometimes made him an exasperating meddler sick with love, sick with loving too much, too briefly or too badly.
The portrait of someone who dared show himself nakedly without sparing anyone. A man who cannot leave you indifferent.
