Movie description:
Ten-year-old François, nick-named Poil de Carotte (carrot-top) on account of his red hair, is blighted with the most miserable life imaginable. Constantly bullied by his tyrannical mother, ignored by his father, and teased by his older brother and sister, poor François imagines that he is the unhappiest person in the world. When his brother Félix steals some money from his parents so that he can amuse himself with a Parisian cabaret singer, who is the obvious culprit? Poil de Carotte! Whenever he sees a glimpse of happiness – playing with a little girl on a neighbouring farm or going hunting with his father – his mother intervenes and gives him chores to do. In the end, the ill-treatment that is meted out to him daily becomes unbearable and François decides to end his life. All he needs is a rope, a beam, and it’s done. Who will miss wretched Poil de Carotte?Boy Actors
