Mes jours de gloire
Antoine de Bary
Adrien is a modern-day Peter Pan. In his early thirties already, he still behaves like a kid. He became a successful child actor, but that was more than ten years ago, and today Adrien has neither fame nor money. He has to move back in with his parents to start afresh. Caught in the middle between returning as an actor (in triumph he imagines) and a possible love interest, Adrien's path will be full of obstacles.

After leaving secondary school, Antoine de Bary worked considerably on commercials, clips and short films. As writer and director, he completed his first short film, L'enfance d'un chef (Birth of a Leader), in 2016, at the age of 26, winning the Canal+ prize at the 55th Critics' Week. In 2018, he wrote and directed his first feature film, Mes jours de gloire (My Days of Glory).
“What a job to become a man! Discovering independence, the headiness of the first steps and the excitement of a new world. Being the son of a psychologist, I always thought I was one step ahead of my peers. As if my mother's work gave me wisdom and an innate maturity. What a disappointment it was when I took my first steps in adulthood! Yet I was ready for existence, armed with family theories and ready-to-use intellectual outlines. Unfortunately, to grow up, to gain maturity, you also have to let go. And I had to abandon the beliefs of childhood, betray my maternal heritage, and make all the beginner's mistakes. That was the starting point of the film.” (Antoine de Bary)
