Gastón Duprat (which scooped the Volpi Cup for Best Male Performance in Venice 2016), the story revolves around Samir Amin, a world-renowned writer and a Parisian for some 30 years, who accepts against all expectations to return home to the village of his birth Sidi Mimoun, in Algeria, in order to be named an Honorary Citizen. He is given a hero’s welcome by Miloud, the president of his fan club, who reacquaints him with the country he has forgotten. They will experience moments of joy and emotion, and far more besides… Citoyen d'honneur is produced by Christophe Cervoni on behalf of Axel Films, in co-production with Apollo Films (who will manage distribution in French movie theatres), C8 Films (who have also pre-purchased the picture) and Janine Films.
