"Most adults are simply winging it most of the time, navigating through a process of becoming that never quite reaches become."
"The French comedy show Bref provided a unique lens on adulthood with its ultra-fast voiceover and structure, reflecting the chaotic life of a young adult."
"As I turned 35, I felt the pressure of that childhood belief—as if age would bring responsibilities and self-assuredness, only to realize adulthood's unpredictability."
"Bref’s protagonist, Je, transitions from a loser in his 30s to a character in his 40s, capturing the ongoing journey many experience in adulthood."
Turning 35 prompts reflection on the journey of adulthood and the realization that maturity is elusive. Most people appear to be simply winging it through life. A French comedy show, Bref, serves as a backdrop for this sentiment, chronicling the chaotic and humorous experiences of its protagonist. Originally released in 2011, Bref's rapid-fire narration aligns with the fast pace of young adulthood. Fourteen years later, the series transitions into a portrayal of the protagonist in his 40s, highlighting evolving experiences as he continues to navigate life.
