A 30-year-old man finds the trials and responsibilities of adulthood are finally starting to catch up with him in this comedy-drama from France. Simon (Mathieu Demy) does not have an especially strong relationship with his father (Maurice Benichou), a psychoanalyst, his friends are going through a variety of crises, and his girlfriend is no longer happy with their relationship. But after the death of Simon's grandmother (Louise Benazeraf) and the breakup of his father's marriage, Simon and his dad find themselves communicating again. Simon also finds himself befriending a neighbor (Amira Casar), who is both pregnant and down in the dumps. Quand On Sera Grand was the first feature film from writer/director Renaud Cohen, who previously distinguished himself in short films.
