Solo
Directed by Jean-Pierre Mocky
Produced by Balzac Films, Cine Eclair
A morally complex crime drama about a cynical drifter drawn into his brother's revolutionary violence, grappling with ideology, loyalty, and the cost of idealism.
A womanising violinist and jewel thief must abandon his carefree lifestyle when he learns that his younger brother is part of the leftist revolutionary group responsible for the brutal murders of powerful men. Determined to save the life of his idealistic sibling, the cynical drifter becomes embroiled in a struggle that is not his to fight.
