Set against the thrilling backdrop of the late 1970s and early 1980s France, Libre dives into the captivating life of Bruno Sulak (played by Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo), a notorious and charismatic thief who stole not only treasures but hearts as well. Inspired by the true story of Sulak’s legendary escapades, the film brings to life his audacious heists—planned with charm and finesse, yet remarkably carried out without a single shot fired.
WHAT IS LIBRE ABOUT?
As Sulak’s reputation as a masterful criminal grows, so does the relentless pursuit by Police Commissioner George Moréas, portrayed by Yvan Attal (Ad Vitam), a cunning detective known for his skill in tracking down even the most elusive criminals.
The tension mounts as Moréas closes in, only for Sulak to execute daring prison escapes that cement his status as a folk hero with an unyielding thirst for freedom—and a fierce desire to reunite with his lover, Annie, brought to life by Léa Luce Busato (Alex Hugo). Their love affair becomes a symbol of rebellion, leading audiences through a high-stakes game of cat and mouse that holds the nation spellbound.
