VACANCES ROYALES A FILM BY GABRIEL AUER WRITTEN BY: CARLOS ANDREU & GABRIEL AUER CAST: AGNÈS CHÂTEAU DIDIER SAUVEGRAIN FRANCISCO CURTO EMILIO SANCHEZ ORTIZ 35 mm - 86 minutes - Color 1980 THE STORY For the first time, eight militant Spanish anarchists, in front of television cameras, talk of their experiences - of being arrested, sent away and forced to reside in a luxury hotel at Belle-Ile-en-Mer - on the occasion of the visit to France of King Juan Carlos of Spain in October 1976, and they talk without restraint about the use of violence. Albert, the Quebec director, tries to get Ignacio, Gunda and Pedro to take part in his program by showing them what he has already filmed. They thus re-live, in flashback form, certain outstanding events from their incredible adventure. But Albert is determined to find the twelfth man who was arrested, Toni, who disappeared after the Belle-Ile-en-Mer incidents and whom Albert rightly suspects of having become a terrorist. Will the unexpected arrival of Toni put them all in danger? "Great and beautiful filmmaking, joyful and warm." Jeune Cinéma "Controversial, yet humorous thinking, on violence and repression."
