A Self-Made Hero(1996)

A Self-Made Hero is a French drama set in the aftermath of World War II. Albert Dehousse's carefully constructed identity crumbles when he discovers his father was no war hero and his mother collaborated with the occupiers. Faced with uncomfortable truths about his family's wartime past, Albert must confront the gap between the myths he's built and the messy reality of survival under Nazi occupation. The film explores how ordinary people reinvent themselves in the chaos of liberation, examining themes of shame, ambition, and the stories we tell to escape our origins. With dark humor and unflinching honesty, it captures a pivotal moment when France reckoned with its complicated relationship to the war and those who lived through it.
