My Golden Days

- director: Arnaud Desplechin
- actor: Léonard Matton Lou Roy-Lecollinet Mathieu Amalric Quentin Dolmaire
- writer: Arnaud Desplechin Julie Peyr
Synopsis:
The story of Paul Dédalus, a venturous anthropologist preparing to leave Tajikistan (played in his middle age by Amalric and as adolescent by newcomer Dolmaire). Reflecting on his life, he has a series of flashbacks starting from his childhood in Roubaix—his mother’s attacks of madness, his father’s alienating depression. He remembers a student trip to the USSR, where a clandestine mission led him to offer up his own identity for a young Russian, whom he considered a phantom twin for the remainder of his life. He also recalls University life and returning to his hometown to party with his sister and her best friend, his shifting circle of friends, and their casual betrayals. And most of all, he remembers Esther (Roy-Lecollinet), the beautiful, rude, haughty soul and love of his life.
