Based on true events, the story will follow Moulin (Lellouche) as he’s parachuted into occupied France to unite the French resistance fighters under Charles de Gaulle’s leadership. But even when locked in a tense, deadly standoff with the vicious Barbie, Moulin doesn’t break, and his courage and silence helps lead to the liberation of France, while leaving behind a new spirit of strength and resistance. “It is with an immense pride that I’m bringing to cinema the tragic and epic story of Jean Moulin, the great humanist resistant of WWII,” said Nemes, currently in post on his third feature “Orphan” that’s expected to hit the fall festivals.
