Who’s behind this extraordinary mediatic scientist? We think we know this man always in a hurry, workaholic, man of political fights and great communicator. He gives the image of a geneticist self-confident, popularizer of difficult questions.

Behind this facade, this movie proposes an intimate and surprising approach of this man. By talking abour his personal and professional life, Axel Kahn delivers a moving testimony of a "good man" of the XXIth century, tourmented by the last order of his father, written before his suicide: "be reasonable and human".
