A heartwarming comedy about an 11-year old cycling fan, Freddy, son of a butcher in an idyllic village in nowhereland. Freddy's isolated life is disrupted when the first supermarket opens its doors in the village. As their opening event the supermarket organises a bicycle race; the winner of the race will meet Eddy Merckx, a Tour de France champion who just happens to be Freddy's hero. Freddy's father, a fierce opponent of the supermarket, doesn't want to hear anything about the race. Freddy races nonetheless. By participating, a new world opens up - not only for Freddy but also for the people around him. (Zlín Film Festival)

If the butcher father (and the mother as well) were not such an asshole who doesn’t think, maybe this comedy depicting a family life in a Belgian village would have been quite good. I felt in it the same inconspicuous atmosphere of Czech petty bourgeoisie as from Bylo nás pet. But it was worse when it came toits jokes that sometimes made no sense. For example, I didn’t understand the point at all about why the little boy kept shitting himself. It didn’t make sense in the story, and I had to look at pants full of shit here and there as punishment.
