The first documentary about legendary mime Marcel Marceau, whose iconic body of work (including the character of "Bip the Clown") inspired generations of artists, including Marceau's grandson, whose own work follows in his famous grandfather's footsteps. Including interviews with those closest to the legendary artist, the film sheds new light on Marceau’s work, and delves into lesser known aspects of life, including the story of his Jewish father, who was killed at Auschwitz. More than a film about pantomime, the film is about tragedy and comedy, music and silence.
