Ne pleure pas (1978)
Film Synopsis
Marc Lafarge is 13 and idolises his older brother Thomas, 20, a veterinary student and amateur boxer. Accompanied by Thomas's girlfriend Clémentine, the two brothers set out for the Dordogne, where they intend to spend their holidays with their grandfather. Dividing their time between swimming and trout fishing, the holiday begins agreeably. Then, one morning, Thomas notices two unpleasant couples camping on his grandfather's land and chases them away. They retaliate by vandalising the property. Unimpressed by this outburst of violence, Clémentine has a row with Thomas and heads back home. After the holidays are over, the brothers are back in Paris. During a demonstration, Thomas runs into one of the individuals he chased away from his grandfather's land and is violently assaulted. Run over by a police car, Thomas ends up in hospital and is given the terrible news that he will never walk again...© James Travers
