Tony, la cinquantaine, chauffeur d’autobus scolaire renfermé sur lui-même, vit seul après avoir abandonné femme et enfant vingt ans plus tôt. Bousculé par un malaise cardiaque, il trouve le courage nécessaire pour affronter son passé et s’inscrire incognito dans le cours de danse dirigé par sa fille, qu’il n’a jamais connue, dans le but de la (re)conquérir et de donner un sens à sa vie.

Tony is a macho middle-aged school bus driver in the provinces with no friends or relations. A sudden heart attack throws him into a tailspin. Tony's convinced he's going to die. When his cardiologist warns him : We all need others. Alone, we're nothing. Tony decides to reconnect with the daughter he abandoned twenty years earlier, when she was just a baby. Still a coward, he's unable to screw up the courage to actually confront her directly. So he decides to sign up for a dance class she's teaching in Paris. Incognito, of course. To get to know her gradually… in a desperate attempt to give some meaning to his empty life. In the process, he has more than a few dance steps to learn!
