Just an Illusion
“A comedy about that period of childhood when the hope of changing the world was not “just an illusion”...”
ComedyDrama
1985. Vincent, almost 13, lives in the suburbs of Paris in a middle-class family, between a distant older brother and parents in constant conflict. Although he is no longer a child and not yet an adult, the film follows his reflections and doubts about identity, friendship, family, and his questions about religion, desire, and love.
