When Mr. Maurice retires, René's world is turned upside down. His new boss bullies him, his guitar hero dies, he fails to win Nathalie's heart. Only the Blues can pull him through. René takes on the appearance of his idol: his voice, his style and his mission. The sound of his guitar, his powerful raspy voice, his long silver hair and his Angel-like face make him a star for an imaginary audience. He's become Silver Head the great guitarist.
