A dramatic diagnosis prompts young Nino to seek a new connection to the world and to himself. A warmhearted ode to friendship and love!

Sitting in the hospital waiting for his diagnosis, Nino suspects nothing bad – who would, at his age? But he has cancer and is to begin an aggressive course of radiation and chemotherapy in three days. Before that, however, his doctors insist that he must complete two important tasks.

From this simple premise unfolds an extraordinarily warm film that is deeply moving, not least thanks to its gentle humor. Nino embarks on a journey through Paris as we have never seen it before, reimagining his relationship with the world and with himself. He is played with tender, fragile sadness by the brilliant Théodore Pellerin.
