Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

You might want to keep your phone out for these.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Great for fans of a well-timed joke and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

It's Bernard's birthday, but he is not happy about it. In a strange world where adults are selfish and indifferent, his parents never accepted him as a child. Bernard doesn't want to grow up if it means to become like them. So he creates a suit that stops his growth. The day he reaches 10 years of age, Bernard will confront his parents and his whole world.
