not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 10; from 9, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 11-13, when you have already passed someone sleeping outside, and can follow a child who lives on the street. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 10.

What it's about

An improbable encounter between Bruno, in his forties marginalized by professional and family setbacks, and Gagic, little street boy, mischievous and pilferer. Bruno will gradually come to the surface, guided by this little solar boy, full of mischief and poetry.

Why 10

A child living on the streetA little boy who steals, sleeps outside and escapes adults looking for him; an alcoholic man who has lost everything, a family that no longer wants him. Shouting, tears, a fight.
About sixty swear wordsFrench expletives: the language of the street; threats, weapons seen from afar.
Alcohol and cigarettesThe hero drinks to forget; wine, beer, cigarettes; a suggested couple's scene.

What the movie brings

A film about the people we do not look at in the street, seen from a child's side.
An adult who must relearn everything from someone who has nothing.
A friendship between a man and a child, without sentimentality.

Watching it together

Before

Say beforehand that the child lives on the street and that the man drinks; the film is sometimes sad before ending well.

After

at 10 and up

Gagic steals to live and yet he helps Bruno: can you be good while doing forbidden things?
