Anthony Delon had a tumultuous relationship with his daughter, Alyson, born on September 4, 1986 from a brief affair with a dancer at the Crazy Horse. Between betrayal, trial and reconciliation, their story is marked by years of distance before the young woman joins the Delon clan during a symbolic reunion. A look back at a moving family story, in this family like no other.

“I experienced this announcement as rape.” The words are from Anthony Delon. He spoke them in July 1994 in Paris Match. Of incredible force, they refer to a much older event…

It is early 1986. Anthony Delon is 22 and still searching for himself. After a chaotic childhood, between California, where he was born, and France, where he will grow up, he will be tossed between his mother Nathaliehis godfather Georges Beaume, and his father Alain Delon. From boarding schools to private institutes, the kid struggles to find his place. She will not be at school, which he leaves at 17, never to return.

He then travels the world, with projects in mind: London, where he works for a record company; Nigeria, where he hopes to make a documentary on the singer Fela Kuti; New York, where he meets Andy Warhol or Brooke Shields. He will even spend a month in prison after being arrested at the wheel of a stolen BMW, in possession of a weapon stolen from the police by a figure of organized crime. A scenario worthy of a film by his father, whose name and face Anthony bears. A face to make all the girls fall…
