Retour en force (1980)

Adrien returns home after eight years in prison to a world he no longer recognizes. His wife Teresa has moved on with another man, and his children, grown and distant, seem burdened by the past that led to his imprisonment. Like a character in "The 400 Blows," they grapple with their identities, marked by a difficult childhood. Adding to his troubles, Adrien's former partners in crime are unwilling to return money they stole before his arrest. This drama examines family, redemption, and the lasting effects of crime. As Adrien tries to rebuild his life and reconnect with his family, he confronts a harsh reality that tests his understanding of home, love, and forgiveness. The film offers a stark look at complicated relationships and the challenging path to healing after incarceration.
