“A film by Claude Sautet”

Drama

Bruno is released from prison. He looks for a job and tries to start a new life. His first stop is at his father's apartment.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at a man trying to rebuild his life after prison. It's a somber, character-driven drama that feels heavy with unspoken truths and the weight of past mistakes.
