Who is Michel's wife in the movie?
Michel, portrayed by Gregory Peck, is a steadfast husband to Marie-Claire, played by Ava Gardner, and a devoted union rep with nearly thirty years of dedication at the shipyard. Everything changes dramatically when he finds himself among the 20 workers facing redundancy. Despite his initial decision not to put his name in the draw, his unwavering sense of solidarity leads him to submit it, resulting in a shocking selection that leaves both him and Marie-Claire reeling in disbelief.
As they prepare to mark their 30th wedding anniversary, their colleagues and family organize a surprise party, gifting them travel funds and a ticket to Tanzania, sparking excitement for a thrilling climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. Meanwhile, Raoul, Michel’s brother-in-law and fellow trade unionist, indulges him with a cherished childhood comic book that he claims to have stumbled upon in a secondhand shop.
Yet, before their much-anticipated holiday can kick off, fate deals them a cruel blow when their home is invaded by two thugs, leaving Michel injured and Marie-Claire deeply shaken. The thieves make off with various valuables, including the comic book that holds significant sentimental value for Michel. In the aftermath of this traumatic event, he catches sight of two children engrossed in his beloved stolen comic while riding a bus and, driven by determination, sets out to reclaim it.
The quest leads him to Christophe, one of his coworkers who has also been made redundant, and Michel soon learns that Christophe is looking after his two younger brothers, who have been abandoned by their mother. Initially torn about confronting Christophe, he ultimately opts to honor the ideals of his socialist hero, Jean Jaurès, and aims to support the boys during their time of need.
Unbeknownst to Michel, Marie-Claire has already taken the initiative, discreetly caring for the children herself. This reveals the deep-rooted values that have always been the backbone of their relationship. As they foster the two young brothers, Michel and Marie-Claire face the challenges presented by their own adult children’s objections, coupled with Raoul’s shocking confession: that the comic book wasn’t a lucky find but rather something he had stolen from Michel during their childhood.
