La Revanche (1981)
Character: Alexandre Degueldre
Jeanne Jouvert, a crime writer, has won the Quai des Orfèvres prize. Her publisher devises a clever publicity ploy that results in her husband, Alfred, head of the anti-gang squad, being honored in her place. The policeman finds himself quite comfortable as a best-selling author and takes advantage of the situation. Tired of having been submissive for too long, Jeanne plans her revenge. She asks for help from her friend Anne Beaufort, herself disappointed by her husband, who pretends to help Third World countries by selling them weapons. The two of them will prove what they are capable of by organizing a hold-up of the central post office in Paris.

L'accalmie (1973)
Character: N/A
At thirty-three, Philippe, an actor who has turned to Commedia dell'Arte, has reached an age where everything he believed in is being called into question, his family life as well as his professional life, and even the importance he attaches to his masks, an importance that may be derisory. His life appears to him without embellishment, without any romanticism. He has taken refuge within himself. He is more alone than ever. The island on which Philippe has landed echoes the same everyday elements, but in an almost mythical, sometimes caricatural way. We encounter characters buried in their little lives, whose hopes and concerns seem futile. Then, in these clouds, in this mist, a lull...

Pascal Lamorisse is the son of filmmaker Albert Lamorisse. He is also the little hero of some of his father's films (White Mane, The Red Balloon and Stowaway in the Sky). Over the years, Albert Lamorisse, who took his son on all his shoots, sought to transmit his expertise and his passion for filmmaking, even on his last film, The Lover's Wind. There is something in the story of Pascal Lamorisse that touches on a fabulous story: it is the story of the transmission of cinema from father to child.
