-Comment: A boy in stone washed bibs, many scenes, often with the bib down, baggy, also shirtless. Bib at high position, overlapping straps. Also several scenes of a young man shirtless in white bibs. And an older man in blue coveralls mainly at 18.

This film is better than thought but the boy younger, not ~12 yo but ~10. Many good scenes. Cool, show-off. This is even more like a documentary, a portrait of different kids and their families. And a priest. Half of the movie is set in flats, the other in front of large buildings, suburb. 7 actors named Hamzaoui, probably relatives/siblings of the teen boy in Dernier été. 2 actors named like the director.

DVD is 16:9, PAL RC2, extra: short preface, no audio commentary. Obviously other copy protection like the other. I can't access >58 minutes on a PC, so pic 4 is a photo off a TV screen. English title:Money Makes Happiness.

Aired in series "Les mercredis de la vie" (31 ep). For the first DVD Dernier été (1981), teen boy rating 5 see that post. There are 2 more movies on the DVDs but I don't assume bibs scenes (Coveralls and young girl shortalls).

Scene 2: at 6: Inside sitting at table (pic 3), yellow shirt over them but cut open to show the bib!!!

Scene 7: at 1h04 inside standing rear/side view shirtless, bib up, being hit. Showing he's younger. (Pic 4, now real cap in update)
