Storyline:

Place des Victoires is the story of an improbable and life-saving encounter between Bruno, a forty-year-old marginalized by professional and family setbacks, and Gagic, a mischievous street kid. Bruno will gradually rise to the surface, guided by this sunny little boy, full of mischief and poetry.

User review:

But also a bit improbable, unfortunately. The friendship which raises between a man and a boy. A man who lost his job and his wife who left him, bringing the kid with her. A man whose cell phone is stolen by a bunch of petty gypsy punks, especially a ten years old boy. A man who will shortly catch this boy and will turn him as his friend. Who will believe this? Not me, for sure, but that’s after all a smooth and moving little tale, far from clichés. It presents true life as it doesn’t exist. In those gloomy days, some one may need this kind of topic. I never got bored.
