Recommended: Educational Media Reviews Online This is the story of one of the greatest French authors of the 20th century. A writer who, in a world wary of ideology, finally achieved the position he was due and the respect of those who prefer justice and truth to dogma and extremism. In conjunction with Olivier Todd, the film discusses Camus´ life, his work, his travels and his private life. From his closest circle of friends and in particular, the women who loved him, each of them talks directly, enabling us to relive the past with them. We concentrate on three works, perhaps his most significant: The Outsider, The Fall and The First Man , which structure the film´s three chapters of the absurd, revolt and happiness. This existentialist philosopher and Nobel Prize winner in literature scorned philosophical suicide. Closed Captioned FI Release 2017 Duplication, Digital and HD ITV rights available
