Samuel
"My name is Samuel, I'm 10 and I have a problem, but I don't want to talk about it."
Overview
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.
The 2024 series Samuel blends drama and comedy through a distinct animated lens. It captures a specific coming of age period by channeling the earnest, often irrational anxieties of childhood. The narrative centers on a ten-year-old boy navigating the social complications of elementary school, primarily revolving around a misunderstood interaction with a classmate and a diary he uses to make sense of the fallout.
Émilie Tronche anchors the project with a slice of life perspective that leans into sentimental and musical elements. Rather than opting for heightened drama, the show maintains a cheerful tone even when dealing with the minor catastrophes of being ten. It offers a grounded look at how young people interpret social cues and the brief, intense pressures of childhood friendships.
