Le doux pays de mon enfance Year: 2006 Country: France Actors and Actresses: Quentin Grosset, Thomas Doucet, Samad Chahet Tags: bathing boy Review: This the story of a guy who wanted to kill himself because no one would believe his name was Roger Joly. But Roger did in fact exist for 17 years. Until the day everything went to pieces. The court has declared that Roger Joly was in fact Aziz Bensala. A judge sentenced him to five years in prison for usurpation of identity, forgery and use of forgeries and swindling. So Roger tried to hang himself that very night with the bed sheets of his prison cell. It’s not the prison sentence that broke Aziz’s spirit. He was no stranger to prison. But this time, the court had rummaged through the life of this Roger he claimed to be. Piece by piece, the judge had analyzed the puzzle in minute detail, exposed the fraud and delivered his conclusions: Roger Joly was a fiction. The man was sent back to the illegal immigrant he didn’t want to be; to this Aziz Bensala, born near Gabès, Tunisia, who went to school barefoot and had a wretched childhood; who had arrived in Marseilles in the mid-70s, after his brother, to find work that didn’t exist back home; who wanted to become part of a country, a culture he admired, to the point of inventing a new identity. It’s a forgotten seat belt that hastened the end of the story. Movie added at: 20.11.2024 |
