In the final months of a war that he
hasn’t fought in, a man decides to be-
come a hero. Or rather impersonate a
hero… to invent a better, richer and more
admirable life than the one he has.
At a time of turmoil in alien Paris of winter
1944/45 , he becomes a virtuoso liar and,
via omissions and allusions, builds up a
remarkable character. After succeeding
in entering the resistance movement, he
is called upon to hold an important post in
the French occupation zone in Germany. |

This man, who is in fact someone else and who had nothing, will obtain everything: admiration, friendship, power, love… but for how long?
One of the most critically acclaimed films at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, and winner of the best screenplay, the film stars Mathieu Kassovitz, one of France’s hottest young stars and director of the smash hit ‘La Haine’.
