In 1940, carrying only the manuscript of his self-published work ‘Notre Salut’ (Our Salvation), Henri Marre arrived in Vichy, believing his talents and ideas could help rebuild a defeated France. Drawing inspiration from his own grandfather’s letters, director Emmanuel Marre traces a journey of gradual descent into the machinery of collaboration with the Nazis - path that transforms personal ambition, insecurity, and a belief in technocratic rationality into something indistinguishable from complicity. The film won Best Screenplay at Cannes 2026.
‘This film is a moving portrait of a man but also of his era, where the ever-sensitive presence of the camera constantly reminds us of our duty as active spectators, participants in a present-day narrative of a past history that we know often repeats itself.’ (Cineuropa)
