Mes petits malheurs

2016 · 1 season

A gentle, funny nostalgia trip through awkward early-teen summers, warm and cringe-inducing in equal measure.

Overview: Narrator Jeffy, now an adult, recounts his youthful adventures in the mid-1980s with humour and nostalgia. A typically awkward, insecure 12-year-old, Jeffy wants the same thing as millions of other young people his age: to be accepted and to find his place in the “nuclear catastrophe” phase of life called adolescence.
How it feels: Warm, light, whimsical and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Coming-of-age, identity, friendship, family
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
