My Name is Victor(1993)

My Name is Victor is a French comedy that explores family secrets and childhood compassion. Eleven-year-old Basile lives in a rural town with his mother and grandparents, who run an unusual crocodile farm. His life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his grandmother's wheelchair-bound half-sister, Cecile, has been hidden away in the attic for decades—kept from the world and estranged from her family. Basile becomes convinced he may be the reincarnation of Victor, Cecile's lost lover from long ago. As he works to right this wrong, tensions between his grandmother and aunt escalate toward a confrontation that will give the town's gossips plenty to discuss. The film blends whimsy with darker themes about isolation and belonging, anchored by a boy's determination to undo a family's cruelty.
