With Les Valseuses in 1974, the public discovered a future icon of French cinema, Patrick Dewaere. Through his eternal youth, his ardor, his rebellion but also his fragility and his wounds, the man incarnates a whole generation... 40 years ago, on July 16, 1982, he committed suicide at the age of 35. For the first time, his daughter, Lola Dewaere, tells the story of her father who died too soon. She reveals the real Patrick Dewaere and tries to answer the mystery of his death, going back over the chaotic path of a man bruised by a tragic childhood. An extraordinary destiny where cinema and personal dramas merge. Presented at the last Cannes Film Festival, in the "Cannes Classics" section.
