Storyline

Pablo, a war veteran in Spain, feels he is on the verge of death. He then sends his three adopted sons, originally from Liège, in the footsteps of his turbulent past. They will meet on their way two old manipulative anarchists, a captain of the Guardia Civil strange in many respects, a former torero owner of a bistro as well as a commander who confuses his barracks with an opera house. Charlie, one of the three brothers, will find love alongside the beautiful Angela, while the other two will find meaning in their own lives.

User Reviews

MOVIE > ... we have nice shoots of Leonor * (dvd)

I think i discovered Leonor with her Cleopatra TV movie. As Romain Duris is my favorite living french actor, that explains why i picked this movie.

However, it is not that great: All the cast is native but speaks in French (congratulations!) but I find their accent very hard to understand. The break-in is funny but there is too much scenes of traveling. The brotherhood brings some emotion but it isn't a climax.

Anyway, the story happens in Spain, so it's a good sunny movie for rainy days. And for sure, Leonor charm is overwhelming: as a pure Latina, she can face all this brothers and ice on the cake, she shows everything !!!
