the answer for Youssef

A Maronite boy and the prepaires for his first Communion. The big problem - the Confession, at his ten and half years old , the young Youssef discovering the sexual temption, not ignoring the night polution.

His older brother and his sketches of advices, the preach of priest and his questions in Comunion moments, the stories of mother are enough obstacles to be very peacefull, not ignoring the wished bike. But Jesus loves Youssef and the final of film offers good proof for this in delicat - amusing form.

In short , just touching and pretty nice portrait of Maronite community from Lebanon. And the serious problems of a ten years old boy.
