Le fils préféré
Directed by Nicole Garcia
A family drama centered on a man in crisis who must reconcile with his brothers and father to uncover truths about himself and his place within a fractured household.
Jean-Paul Mantegna, the son of Italian immigrants now living in Nice, is a hunted man, riddled with debt and involved in borderline illegal companies. To extricate himself, he has to rely on Philippe and François, his two brothers, and on Raphaël, his father; a family torn by disputes and tragic events. However, by rebuilding family unity, Jean-Paul also discovers the secret of his own destiny...
