(2011)
Regisseur:
Olivier MarchalSchauspieler:
Tchéky Karyo, Gérard Lanvin, Dimitri Storoge, Daniel DuvalEdmond Vidal und Serge Suttel besaßen einst den Ruf, die meistgesuchten Bankräuber in ganz Frankreich zu sein. Edmond hatte irgendwann genug und ging in den Ruhestand, während sich Serge derweil im Drogengeschäft austobt. Doch dann kommt es zu einem ungünstigen Zwischenfall, bei dem Serge verhaftet wird. Nun muss sich Edmond darum kümmern, seinem alten Freund zur Flucht zu verhelfen. Gesagt, getan, aber natürlich weiß Hauptkomissar Brauner von der gemeinsamen Vergangenheit der beiden Gangster und setzt Edmond nun massiv unter Druck, damit dieser Serge ausliefert. Brauner ist damit nicht der einzige, denn Serges Geschäftspartner wollen nach einem geplatzten Deal ebenfalls an dessen Leder und ermorden seine Tochter. Nun ist es an Edmond, sich und seinen langjährigen Partner aus dieser Situation heil wieder herauszubekommen...
After growing up in a poor gypsy camp, Edmond Vidal, aka Momon, has retained a sense of family, unfailing loyalty and pride in his origins. Most of all, he has remained friends with Serge Suttel, with whom he first discovered prison life - for stealing cherries. The two of them inevitably got involved in organized crime. The team they formed, the Ganf Des Lyonnais, made them the most notorious armed robbers of the early 1970s. Their irresistible rise ended in 1974 with a spectacular arrest. Today, as he nears 60, Momon would like to forget that part of his life. He has found peace by retiring from the "business". He tends to his wife Janou, who suffered so in the past, and to his children and grandchildren, all of whom have great respect for this man of simple and universal values, so clear-headed and full of kindness. But then Serge Suttel, who has disowned nothing of his past, comes back into the picture.
