About this event
1985, the Paris suburbs. 13-year-old Vincent lives in an apartment block with his parents Yves and Sandrine and older brother Amaud Yves has recently lost his job and is trying to hide the fact from his family. Vincent and his friends, meanwhile, are experiencing the highs and lows of early adolescence.
Just an Illusion is a lovingly nostalgic crowd-pleaser that captures a particular French sensibility alongside universal truths about growing up. It also boasts an impressively rich soundtrack of 80s hits, including the titular Imagination classic.
