Synopsis
Fantasy comedy about a dog who is transformed into a man and becomes a soccer star. Didier is a Labrador entrusted by its owner to Jean-Pierre Bacri, the harried manager of a provincial soccer team. After being bathed in a mysterious beam of light one night, Didier awakens to find himself in a human body, although his mind, reflexes and mannerisms are still canine. Bacri is understandably flustered, until he realizes that Didier has a way with a soccer ball.
