Weighing 220 pounds, 12-year-old Kevin Bouboule’s life is far from easy. Since his father died, he’s been at the mercy of his domineering mother, arrogant sisters and neighborhood bullies. If Kevin doesn’t make an effort to change his lifestyle soon, his outlook seems pretty bleak. Until, that is, he comes across Rocco, a German shepherd belonging to the burly guard Patrick, and befriends both the dog and its owner. With great affection and charm, debuting director Deville tells the story of an outsider you can’t help but like.
