It's 1985. Vincent, almost 13, lives in the suburbs of Paris, caught between an older brother who brushes him off and parents who never stop arguing. 

No longer a kid but not quite an adult, Vincent fumbles through life's big questions: friendship, family, first crushes, his North African Jewish identity... and why adults don’t seem to have things figured out either.

Both funny and endearing in equal measure, co-directors Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache's answer to Adrian Mole has been a box office hit in its native France.
