Watch a movie again

Hello, I would like to revisit a TV movie that moved my adolescence in Africa. It was a French film. The main character was Henri, a young boy around ten years old at a summer camp. He struggled to fit in with the group and was the subject of ridicule from his campmates. Orphaned, withdrawn, and shy, he only found solace in Marlene, a lovely girl his age to whom he revealed everything. Well, almost everything, because one day, under the pressure of the group, when they asked him to reveal the identities of his parents, he pretended they were Henri Poulidor, who was live on TV and about to win the Tour de France. Young Henri gained notoriety and enjoyed explaining to his naive young peers how his famous father was set to win the Tour. But the lie lasted only a short time; when a couple of magicians came to liven up an evening, they revealed during a trick that the young Henri's parents were no longer alive. Henri was violently rejected from the group again, even by Marlene. Later, everything fell into place when Henri became a magician himself. A very beautiful and highly moving story that could make you cry with sadness. I want to see this film again that shaped my personality.

    Hello, no response but in order for us to help you, me or others, we need at least the year when you think the film was shot
    and on your side, do a web search on the theme "film about summer camps".

    Hello,

    You’re big and then you forget by Serge Moati (1981), see sheet: http://php88.free.fr/bdff/image_film.php?ID=7897

    However, I don’t know how to see it again since I haven't found this TV film on DVD or VOD :(

    Best regards

    Thank you especially to Zigg for bringing me back to my youth. Too bad the movie can't be viewed. Too bad for me.

    The film seems to have been aired only once on Arte in 1998: https://www.ladepeche.fr/article/1998/03/09/181479-realisateur-moati-remet-scene-complices-simenon.html
    I'm leaving you a screenshot (it's apparently an "illegal" file), summarizing the film in a few images, just for memory: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/28/1342372944-Moati_1981.jpg

    If it can be found somewhere, I haven't found any traces of it anyway :(
    Have a good end of the day.
