C'est mieux la vie quand on est grand

I enjoyed this touching film about the friendship of a 9 years old boy Manu (called also Courgette) and a gendarme, Raymond.

They meet together when Raymond arrives at the house of Manu and manages to speak with Manu about the accidental shot. From then Manu is sent to a foster home where he lives with other orphans: a difficult time and Manu will always look for Raymond: he steals the cell phone of Ros to call Raymond, he runs away from the foster home.

A touching story about adolescence,father figure and friendship.

Good performances of Antoine Fonck, Daniel Russo, Christine Citti, Delphine Salkin, Stéphane Bissot, Thierry Gibault, Jean-Luc Couchard and Sandy Lewis.
