Vincent, age 35, recalls his yearly summer jobs as counselor at a children's summer camp in Southwest France. At age 25 he had reached the top, and that summer he became director in charge... But it takes a lot of nerve to manage the cries, laughs and daily mischief of 80 kids and 10 camp counselors, and at 25, though you're just over adolescence, you're not yet quite an adult…

Olivier Nakache & Eric Toledano are a writer/director team. Their collaboration began with short films; Le Jour et la Nuit in 1995, Les Petits Souliers in 1999 (which won The Best Short Film award in the Paris Film Festival) and Those Happy Days the short (2002). Their directorial debut was Just Friends (2005.) It starred Gérard Depardieu and Jean-Paul Rouve, and was screened at COL-COA last year. Those Happy Days stars Marilou Berry (Look at Me, The First Time I was Twenty) Jean-Paul Rouve (A Very Long Engagement, Podium, Just Friends ) and is a rites of passage story, destined to charm all ages.
