A Gang Story (2011)
Les Lyonnais
Les Lyonnais 2011
Growing up in a poor gypsy camp, Edmond Vidal, also known as Momon, has maintained a sense of family with undying respect and loyalty to his descendants. In particular, he remained a friend of Serge Sattel, with whom he opened his first prison life for stealing cherries. Both were inevitably involved in organized crime. The team they formed, Ganf Des Lyonnais, made them the most notorious armed robbers of the 1970s. Their unstoppable ascent ended with a spectacular arrest in 1974. Today, in his 60s, Mamon wants to forget this part of his life. He found peace when he quit his "job". He takes care of his wife Jean, their children and grandchildren, and they all have great respect for this man, open and kind, simple and universal values. But then Serge Sattel, whom he ignored from his past, returns for that painting.
