Name: Bernard Frédéric. Profession: Claude François, a successful pop singer in the 1970s. Yes, his job is to be Claude François, to replace that icon of the seventies. He is a look-alike who sings and dances with a chorus of four. His dream, to the great displeasure of his wife Véro, is to win the Night of the Look-alikes competition, which will be broadcast on a major TV station during prime time. Torn between his desire for glory and his deep love for his wife, between his idol singer and Véro, he has to make a choice. And the film is about this choice. A funny film about look-alikes, a fable of the 1970s and a nostalgic journey to the Madame Tussaud gallery of icons of popular culture, PODIUM gives a comical account of a desperate story: how the desire to become famous has become the religion of modern times.
