Actor and aspiring screenwriter and director Louis Garrel is a young representative of one of the famous cinematic families in France. The ministers of "the most important of the arts" were his father, mother, grandfather and even great-grandfather. Despite this, growing up on the set and behind the scenes, young Louis as a child did not show much zeal to continue the labor dynasty, but dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

Generally, a talented creator and a worthy successor to his rich family cinematic history.
