Luc's nosebleed.

Was there a significance to that scene? Does he have some disease or something and that's why Carrie-Anne was so overprotective?

Remind me in which scene he has the nosebleed? I can't quite remember, but I don't think there was anything specifically wrong with him - his mother was just a bit weird after losing her husband.

where he was drawing i think, in his room, and she comes in with his homework, telling him he has made some mistakes, and then notices the nosebleed, rushes over to him and then Luc tells her something like his teacher 'wants them to correct their own mistakes' and she says 'im not correcting it, im just telling you you made one'. hope this rings a bell :)

and i just thought that maybe he was someone who can get a nosebleed quite randomly, i know someone who often suffered from random nosebleeds, especially when they were younger.

Okay, thanks.

He just gets into picking his nose too much.

He says: "It's nothing, mother". But she makes a fuss about it. Probably this is just to show that even though it's nothing, she makes a mountain out of a molehill anyway and that confirms Armande's opinion about her: "That boy doesn't piss without her permission".

Its to show how overprotective she is. And it gives him a reason to not have friends and be out playing in the street with the other kids. She's probably the kind of mother who insists that he's sick, and keeps him indoors.

Münchausen syndrome?

Maybe not to that point but certainly over protective indeed.
