Writer/directors Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache (Untouchable) scored a box office hit in their native France with their 1980s-set coming-of-age tale Just an Illusion. The film follows 12-year-old Vincent (Simon Boubil) and his bickering parents (Camille Cottin, Louis Garrel) against the backdrop of rising unemployment, economic uncertainty and anti-fascist protests in 1985 Paris.
Just an Illusion is in UK/ROI cinemas from September 11th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
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 child but not yet an adult, Vincent fumbles through life's big questions—identity, friendship, family and first love—and discovers that the grown-ups don't seem to have everything figured out either.
