What to say about this one? There is not much of a plot but it is a pleasant enough film. Seems WW2 still loomed large in 1962 in the Europe where this is set.

Good piece based on Jhemp Hoscheit's semi-autobiographical novel, with Hoscheit's son Ben Hoscheit as the lead. Depicts near-universal experiences in the specific context of 1960s Luxembourg, with its social conservatism, strong Roman Catholicism, multilingual school system, memories of Nazi occupation, etc.
