A Decent Man (Je ne suis pas un salaud)

French drama about a man with a drinking problem who, while trying to win his family back, wrongly accused someone of assault.

"Eddie spends more time drinking and moping about than he does looking for a proper job. After another drunken night on the town, he winds up hospitalised when a band of thugs stab him. Eddie wrongly identifies local Arab boy Ahmed as the principal culprit. While the legal machine gets underway with Ahmed, Eddie attempts to win back his wife and son through a new job. He soon becomes aware of the seriousness of his accusation but will do anything to stand by his proclamation." (Alliance Française French Film Festival)
