It's summer. The Tour de France is coming and senior fans arrive in their camper vans in this endearing documentary that revels in its visual humour.

Plot

Every year, thousands of Tour de France fans gather along strategic points of the race route in hopes of catching a glimpse of the competition. Some will go down in posterity, caught in glimpses of the congested crowd by cameras chasing the action; others will manage to seize snapshots of the cyclists in a long-awaited moment that's over far too soon. This time, two Belgian documentary filmmakers hand the mic over to these Tour "regulars" who, in some cases, arrive with trailer-in-tow a week before the event to secure the best possible position. In this behind-the-scenes look at the most prestigious cycling race in the world, HOLY TOUR reveals the human side to a mega-sports event riddled with tenderness and humor.
