Synopsis

Benoit’s first week at his new school does not go to plan. He’s roughed up by the popular kids, and the only pupils who welcome him with any kindness are the «nerds.» Fortunately there’s Johanna, a Swedish girl who he makes friends with and whom he falls for. But little by little she drifts away.

Our take

Celebrating the misfits and the “losers,” Rudi Rosenberg’s charming coming-of-age film features mostly unknown young actors, whose spontaneity adds a fresh coat of paint to a familiar genre. Gregarious and endearing, this uplifting comedy invites viewers of all ages to let their weird flags fly!
