"“When I Was Five I Killed Myself” is a 1981 novel by Howard Buten. This book was adapted for the cinema in 1994 by Jean-Claude Sussfeld under the same title “Quand j'avais 5 ans je m'ai tué”. Gilbert Rembrand is an eight-year-old who attends school with his peers. Tinias is her best friend, and the two of them have a lot of fun together, making plots to fool the mistress and occasionally breaking the laws. Everything goes smoothly, and Gil meets Jessica, an intriguing girl. They become buddies because something about this kid's personality appeals to Gil. His life will thereafter gradually transform into a love story, but also a story of madness. The little boy and girl will one day express their love in a way that is "too adult" for their age. Because of what he did to Jessica, here he is in a specialized residence. Alone, faced with the stupidity of adults who transform his dreams into clinical symptoms, and his love into an attack. Alone in a fortress of silence. Who can look for it there? Language: French. Subtitles: English, German, Portuguese, Spanish.
