Ben is 30 years old today. Passionate about history, cultivated, shy, he has few friends outside his club of historical figures. Often mocked by his colleagues, he is nevertheless passionate about his work at the Tourist Office: driving the little train that embarks tourists to visit Nîmes. After a sad birthday party, he returns home when he spills a man with his car. Panicked, Ben approaches the unfortunate and discovers that he has overthrown a Roman gladiator who has traveled back in time until today.
