It's the big day for Perséide. A day to reveal oneself, to free oneself, to dare to be different. It is through a tortuous journey and a coming out that will leave no one indifferent that we witness the reality trans people experience too often.

This documentary attempts to understand why so many comedians experience mental health issues, a condition that stands in stark contrast to their profession. Anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts: these are the heavy subjects they dare to tackle on stage. Cathy Gauthier, Coco Belliveau, Jean-François Mercier, Mario Jean, Maude Landry, Preach and Simon Gouache testify.
