The First Man

The First Man is a powerful and poignant drama that follows the journey of Jacques Comery, a man who returns to his childhood home in Algeria in 1957, amidst a country torn apart by political turmoil. As Jacques revisits the memories of his past, he encounters the stark realities of a nation divided between those who want to remain under French rule and those demanding independence. Through the vivid recollections of his mother, grandmother, and a young Arab boy, Jacques grapples with his own sense of identity and belonging in a place he once called home. Based on an unfinished novel by Albert Camus, this film offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience, delving into themes of memory, family, and the search for meaning in a world torn apart by conflict and change.
