Just an Illusion

A comedy about that period of childhood when the hope of changing the world was not “just an illusion”...

A bittersweet coming-of-age comedy-drama set in 1980s suburban Paris that captures the confusion and yearning of early adolescence through one boy's internal questioning about identity, family, and meaning.

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.
