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

Alone from 15; from 13, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 15, at the age when you start worrying about your body, and laughing about it helps. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 12.

What it's about

Romain Faubert is a 39 year old, single, medical photographer... and a raging hypochondriac. His doctor and only friend Dr. Dimitri Zvenka thinks he knows the cure for Romain: dating! But with the arrival of freedom fighter Anton Miroslav, everyone might get more then they bargained for...

Why 15

A night together, heard more than seenThe film goes through a sex scene you hear without seeing it, with a line about being tied up. It is played for laughs, and the night is discussed the morning after.
shown
Soldiers, weapons, a real frightThe second half moves to a country in civil war: armed men, gunfire, and a moment where a character is marched off by soldiers at gunpoint. The tension is real before the comedy returns.
shown
Death, the subject of every conversationThe hero talks about dying constantly, it is his obsession and the engine of the jokes. A child anxious about their health may hear an echo that is not funny at all.
shown
Swearing, and a lot of smokingThe vocabulary is that of an adult comedy, without excess, and cigarettes appear in a great many scenes with nobody objecting.

What the movie brings

A light way into the fear of illness, very common and rarely spoken about.
The journey of someone who dares nothing and ends up throwing himself into the world.

Watching it together

Before

If your child frets about their body, you can say beforehand that the film overdoes it on purpose, to laugh at it.

After

at 15 and up

Do you know anyone who worries about their health all the time? What would help them?
