Ceux De Demain

Jean is ten years old and imagines that he is the cause of the misunderstanding that occurred between his parents. He leaves the military institute where he studies and becomes the protégé of an opera singer at whose house, one day, he surprises a thief who blesses him. His parents reconcile at the foot of his hospital bed.

Directed by Adelqui Migliar, Georges Pallu, Ceux De Demain leans on a strong ensemble — Constant Rémy, Ninon Vallin, Jeanne Boitel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1938.
