Jean-Teddy Filippe

The Forbidden Files, films of Jean-Teddy Filippe, flirt with fantasy featuring pictures and voiceovers to create the illusion of a documentary about the strange events from around the world.

Following a fight that goes wrong, Tigre, Chalouf, and Sainte-Croix, all three students at a vocational high school in Marseille, decide to leave everything behind. "Freedom, freedom, I write your name," they don't know Eluard, but they heard the poem in class and the word freedom touched them. They steal a BMW, a classic move, set off on an adventure, talk a lot and get into a few fights. Chalouf, the tender one, loves Marie, a girl he met by chance in the Old Port. Marie lives in Briançon. No matter! Off they go to Briançon...

Based on the model of documentary fiction (alternating period films, interviews and re-enactments with actors), the film begins on September 8, 1961 with the failure of the Pont-sur-Seine attack on a road convoy carrying Charles de Gaulle, then President of the Republic, and continues with the slow preparation, the occurrence and the consequences of the Petit-Clamart attack on August 22, 1962.
