Little Nicholas

• Comedy
• Family

A sun-drenched, nostalgic slice of 1960s Parisian childhood, *Little Nicholas* unfolds through the anxious, wonderfully imaginative perspective of a young boy grappling with the perceived threat of a new sibling. It’s not a story about preparing for a baby, but a frantic, humorous internal world where Nicolás constructs elaborate scenarios of displacement and familial disruption, fueled by overheard fragments of adult conversation. The film’s charm lies in its authentic portrayal of childhood logic – a blend of innocent mischief, heartfelt friendships, and escalating paranoia – presented with a gentle, observational humor that feels remarkably fresh. It’s a quietly affecting exploration of a child’s early confrontation with the instability of cherished routines, and the universal fear of being replaced, delivered with a distinctly French warmth and playful visual style.
