Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Alain Delon's aged face, who was drooping and looking at the old picture frame in his hand, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions.
What was once handsome has long since been ruthlessly erased by the years, replaced by a wrinkled face and a tired look.
His eldest son, Al, has almost the same appearance as himself, but Alain has never officially acknowledged the existence of this illegitimate child, and in his heart, Al seems to be a dispensable stranger.
And his youngest son Vladimir, although he was raised by Alain himself, but when Vladimir was young and ignorant, Alain's violent temper and strict education methods made the child hate his father to the core.
Only Anthony, who was born out of wedlock, has been a precious treasure in the palm of Alain's palm since he was a child. He gave all his sincere love to this son, and even in his old age, he gave all his inheritance to Anthony to take care of.
Alain is mired in deep memories and has mixed feelings. As a popular movie star who was once highly sought-after, he once had the glory and wealth of life and the admiration of thousands of people.
But in terms of family affection, he has never really treated every child fairly and justly. In the old age in front of him, what came to Alain's mind was partiality and regret for his children.
Alain is immersed in a whirlpool of memories, reminiscing about the days when he squandered his youth wantonly. At that time, he was like the pride of the sky, handsome and outstanding, attracting the crazy eyes of countless women.
In the spotlight, he always maintains a charming smile and unhurried demeanor, as if a supreme artist is shining on the stage.
Whenever a new work of Alain Delon is released, it is bound to spark heated discussions among the media and fans. Some people are full of praise, praising him for his dusty appearance and being the top beauty superstar in modern France; There are also people who are outspoken, secretly laughing at his chaotic lifestyle, believing that he is nothing more than a playboy who loves vanity and greedy women.
However, Alain didn't care about these gossips, and even enjoyed them. In his opinion, women are as obsessed with him as moths to a fire, and he can make them swoon with just a wave of his sleeve.
"It's hard for a woman to resist my temptation. This self-deprecating sentence often hangs on his lips.
It's just that behind the camera, Alain has always been secretive about his flying emotional history, and he never comments much on it in front of the media. The outside world only knows that he and the popular actress Mi Leiye have been in love for many years, and the lingering relationship between the two has attracted much attention.
However, at the end of the relationship, Alain still chose to leave and started a new relationship.
The reason is simple, Mi Leiye is reluctant to have offspring. And Alain longs in his heart to have a child of his own and witness his own life. So, he resolutely turned his back on this sincere love and looked for a new partner with whom he could conceive children.
It didn't take long for Alain to meet Natalie, a woman from a civilian background. Although Natalie does not have the elegant temperament of Mireille, her simple and kind inner self made Alain fall in love at first sight.
In the days of love with Natalie, Alain seems to have rekindled his enthusiasm for life, squandering his youth wantonly, and enjoying the warmth and love given by Natalie.
Soon, the good news came - Natalie was pregnant with Alain's child, and a lovely boy, Anthony, came into the world. Alain was overjoyed and experienced the happiness of being a father for the first time.
From then on, he gave all his favor to this legitimate son.
Anthony undoubtedly became the most important treasure in Alain's life. Growing up, as long as Anthony was around, Alain felt that his life was extremely fulfilling. Even the classic movie "Zorro" directed by him originated from Anthony's yearning for the image of a hero.
In order to make his son happy, Alain resolutely accepted this challenging directing job.
However, at the same time that Alain was happy with Lin'er, his intimate relationship with another woman, Nicole, was also exposed. Nicole openly declares that her daughter Elle, who became pregnant, is Alain's illegitimate daughter.
This move undoubtedly had a huge impact on Alain's reputation, and was strongly opposed by his fiancée, Romy Schneider.
Alain is caught between a rock and a hard place. Eventually, in order to escape the glare of the spotlight, he chose to fly away, leaving Romy behind and fleeing his hometown with Natalie.
Since then, Anthony has become the only biological flesh and blood he admits, and Al, the illegitimate daughter, has been completely denied and abandoned by him.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Anthony is an adult. In Alain's eyes, this son is undoubtedly the greatest pride in his life. He gave all his favor to Anthony, cherishing him as the most precious pearl in the palm of his hand.
Whether it is an important social occasion or an interview, Alain always puts Anthony in sight, for fear that this proud son will leave him half a step away.
In contrast, Alain's attitude towards the other two sons was much colder. As an illegitimate child, Al has been left out in the cold since birth. Not only did Alain always deny his blood relationship with her, but he even secretly thwarted his mother's decision to temporarily adopt Al.
In his eyes, Al was a superfluous being, a nuisance that gave him a headache and annoyance.
Alain is also indifferent to his youngest son, Vladimir. As a young man, Vladimir lived in a stormy family environment.
Alan always gave his family a harsh reprimand and cold treatment because of a momentary emotional out-of-control, and even witnessed the tragedy of his mother being subjected to domestic violence. This made Vladimir hate his father Alain to the core, and regarded him as an enemy who shared the sky.
Alain, of course, also noticed Vladimir's hostility towards him, but he made no attempt to ease it. In his opinion, instead of bothering to pursue the approval of others, it is better to give all the limited energy to the palm baby Anthony.
