"At the beginning of Claude Lelouch's film Les Misérables, there is a scene with a loving duo. Annie Girardot doesn't say anything or can't say anything. Fabrice Benichoux, the Jewish refugee, watches and waits.
This is the most beautiful declaration of love I've ever seen. Annie Girardot, the peasant girl, hides this refugee, making him believe that the war continues so that he doesn't leave.
Surprised by my emotion at seeing this scene, I searched my memory for motivation to understand it better. Deep inside me, came the last meeting with my father."
- Lionel Ménard
