A warm, musical coming-of-age comedy about a 10-year-old navigating the small social mortifications of childhood with diary-based intimacy and gentle humor.

Samuel is 10 years old. He's keeping a diary, and he has a problem. His problem is that Basile told the tall Julie that Samuel loved her. Which isn't true, he doesn't care about Julie. It's only that she laughed at one of his jokes once and he thought she was nice to do so.
