LITTLE NICHOLAS - HAPPY AS CAN BE

Synopsis

Somewhere between Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Jean-Jacques Sempé and René Goscinny lean over a large white sheet of paper and bring to life a mischievous and endearing boy, Little Nicolas. From schoolyard games and fights to summer camp prank and camaraderie, Nicolas lives a merry and enriching childhood. As the adventures of Nicolas and his friends unfold, the boy makes his way into his creators’ workshop and light-heartedly questions them. Sempé and Goscinny will recount the story of their friendship, career, and reveal a childhood filled with hopes and dreams.

Statement Regisseur

LITTLE NICHOLAS - HAPPY AS CAN BE is a story of resilience. It is a movie about two people who were robbed of their childhood and who imagined for Little Nicholas a dreamt-up childhood, and who developed a bright, humorous, radiant character in order to deal with the tragedies they both lived through as children. It's an incredible tale about friendship, creativity and growing up.
