The White Queen
In 1960, in a coastal town near to Nantes, Jean Ripoche lives with his wife Liliane, their four children and Liliane’s father Lucien. Jean divides his time between running his plumbing business and making a float for the Nantes carnival. The Ripoche’s ordered lives are thrown into turmoil when Jean’s former friend, Yvon Legualoudec, returns to the town – with his black wife Annabelle and their three children. Before he disappeared twenty years ago, without saying a word, Yvon was Jean’s rival for Liliane’s affections. As bitter memories resurface, the relationship between Jean, Yvon and Liliane become strained.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its drama on the contrast between festive carnival preparations and simmering domestic tensions, relying on the return of the past to explore prejudice, jealousy, and long-held resentments.
What lingers after the final frame is a poignant irony, where personal tragedies unfold behind the masks of celebration, and true forgiveness proves more elusive than any parade float. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Jean-Loup Hubert
