Just an Illusion

(2026)Directed by Olivier Nakache, Éric Toledano116 minComedy, Drama
A comedy about that period of childhood when the hope of changing the world was not “just an illusion”...

1985. Vincent, almost 13, lives in the suburbs of Paris in a middle-class family, between a distant older brother and parents in constant conflict. Although he is no longer a child and not yet an adult, the film follows his reflections and doubts about identity, friendship, family, and his questions about religion, desire, and love.
