Sophie's Misfortunes

Sophie's Misfortunes

2016 · 106 min · ★ 4.9 · Family, Comedy

Sophie is far from being the model little girl one would like her to be, unlike her friends Camille and Madeleine. She always insists on having her own way, often getting into trouble, to the despair of one and all. But her mother is unbending and otherwise inclined. She will not let her get away with anything, and poor Sophie will often have to live with the consequences of her bad behaviour and learn her lesson.

Directed by Christophe Honoré · Written by Gilles Taurand
