At the beginning of the 20th century: old Henri Fortin, father of young Henri, is on trial. He is said to have killed the Comte de Villeneuve, for whom he worked as a chauffeur . During the trial, his wife accepts a job in a tavern on Normandy beach . Wrongly convicted, he tries to break out of prison with other inmates and is killed in the process.

criticism
“Emphasizes disrespectful re-adaptation of the classic by Victor Hugo, which begins at the turn of the century, relocates a large part of the action to France at the time of the German occupation and lets its hero die as a boxing champion. A fascinating film develops in a breathtaking alternation of levels of time and reality, which merges into a convincing whole. The film offers its star Belmondo the opportunity to shine in three roles. "
Awards
The film won a Golden Globe and the London Critics' Circle Film Award for Best Foreign Film in 1996 . Annie Girardot received the César for Best Supporting Actress.
