A 75-year-old man stops one evening to pick up gas at the “Yellow jersey”, a little road restaurant isolated on the last turns of a mountain pass. During the Tour de France in 1960, he had his hour of glory, but also the biggest failure of his life there. The meeting with Lucien the boss and his friend Clara is going to make him think about his past and lead him towards the summit.

Un homme de 75 ans s’arrête un soir d’orage pour faire le plein d’essence au « Maillot Jaune », petit relais routier isolé sur les derniers lacets d’un col de montagne. Durant le Tour de France 1960, il y a connu son heure de gloire, mais aussi le plus grand échec de sa vie. La rencontre, avec Lucien le patron et son amie Clara, va le replonger dans ses souvenirs et le pousser vers le sommet tout proche.
