What it's about

A rebellious teenager must travel the country with his sick grandpa to get to his basketball game.

Why 10

A grandfather losing his mindRoland forgets, gets lost, mixes up the years, and his grandson takes him to Paris anyway for his basketball final; the film laughs and cries about it, and speaks plainly of death and the end of life.
The words of a teenager and an old manFifty-five swear words in an hour and a half, forty shots of cigarettes, wine; a rifle in one country scene.

What the movie brings

A teenager who does not want to look after his grandfather and discovers that he loves him: passing things on through a journey.
A grandparent's illness told to children with humour, without hiding that it does not get better.
Thierry Lhermitte and Rayane Bensetti, a duo that bickers and protects each other.

Watching it together

Before

Warn that the grandfather is ill and that it makes you laugh and then cry; if a grandparent is losing their memory at home, the film will speak for you.

After

at 10 and up

JB takes his grandfather along when he has been told not to: was he right?
