There is one in every village, a poor, angry and lonely sod. But behind this, there is also a sad story, that of a youth sacrificed in Algeria. Depardieu, Darroussin and Frot are in major mode in this beautiful Cannes 2020-labeled drama.
The Evian Agreements signed on March 18th 1962 put an end to 132 years of military occupation and colonization in Algeria. The Algerian War, also known as The War Without a Name, pierced through men. Forty years later, after the unspeakable and the silence, one man implodes. Snippets of memories come back. How and whom to tell them to? An essential narrative adapted from the eponymous novel by Laurent Mauvignier.
