Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This French drama shows what happens to the folks at home when someone who has been gone for a long time returns. Ange (Yves Montand) has been to America, but an uneasy feeling brings him back to his native island of Corsica. There he discovers his father has been killed, his mother is deathly ill, and his sweetheart has married his stay-at-home brother. Alas, his troubles are not over yet, as his return worries a pair of unscrupulous real-estate developers.
