Le bonheur des tristes

The story

Adapted from Luc Dietrich's touching autobiographical novel, this TV film chronicles the troubled childhood of a boy born at the beginning of the 20th century. Confronted with a drug-addicted mother figure, Luc embarks on a journey of initiation torn between heartbreak and disillusionment, but also innocent mischief and first loves.
