France, late nineteenth century. Once a renowned clown, Footit now desperately tries to get hired by any provincial circus. After yet another refusal, he tracks down a black man who is employed by circuses to scare the public as a “cannibal from darkest Africa”. Charmed by the energy of this man, Footit offers to form a unique clown duo with him: white Footit and black Chocolat. The immediate success they encounter leads quickly to Paris, where fame and fortune changes the life of Chocolate, but also brings back the harsh reality of the times.
