Edmond Vidal, also known as Mormon, grew up in a poor Gypsy camp and holds a strong sense of responsibility towards his family, with unwavering loyalty and pride. In particular, he maintains a friendship with Serge Schutler, who is in prison for theft. The two are inevitably drawn into a criminal organization, with the gang notorious for armed robberies in the '60s and '70s. The ever-growing gang was eventually restrained in the mid-'70s. Now over 60, Edmond wishes to erase this chapter of his life, seeking a place to withdraw from business and turn to the family that suffered because of it, and his wife and children respect the frankness, universal values, clear mind, and limitless kindness that this man possesses. However, with the arrival of Serge Schutler, what kind of ripples will this inerasable history create...   Behind the Scenes   Olivier Marchal is regarded as the heir to the French gangster films of the '60s and '70s, reminiscent of the Melville era. His films "36th Precinct" and "MR73" belong to the general commercial cop-and-robber category, but they exhibit a strong sense of reality and fatalism, showcasing the director's skill. His latest work, "Lyon Gang," recently premiered in France and aspires to be a French version of "The Godfather" and "Heat," but has received mixed reviews. Some viewers find the story sincere, while others critique its overly deliberate and inconsistent style. Olivier Marchal himself was a policeman before entering filmmaking, and his first two works also told stories about police, but "Lyon Gang" focuses on their counterparts. "I don’t wish to glamorize the gang, but rather to show that their so-called sacred, untouchable brotherhood is merely an illusion. My gang ends up dead or in prison; there’s no good outcome."
