Home Front (French: Des hommes; lit. 'Men') is a 2020 French drama film directed by Lucas Belvaux adapted by a novel of Laurent Mauvignier. It was selected to be shown at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.[2][3][4]
Synopsis[edit]
They were sent to Algeria during the "events" in 1960. Two years later, Bernard, Rabut, Février, and others returned to France. They remained silent and lived their lives. But sometimes, it takes almost nothing, like a winter birthday or a small gift, for the past to suddenly come back into the lives of those who thought they could deny it, even forty years later.
