In the summer of 1968, 10-year-old Léon (Antoine L'Écuyer) achieves infamy in his Montreal neighborhood, where he distinguishes himself as a thief, vandal, liar and master of failed suicide attempts. And his parents' plate-smashing antics are not helping matters. Co-starring Catherine Faucher as Léon's cute, know-it-all neighbor Léa, this touching dramedy screened at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.
