The Red Head (1925)

Sobre o filme

François Lepic has come to spend his holidays with his parents in the Morvan region. He is twelve years old, has red hair and his face is covered with freckles: he is nicknamed Poil de Carotte. The last born of the family, he is hated by his tyrannical mother who reserves her love for her elder son, Félix, a sly and lazy adolescent... Poil de Carotte suffers profoundly from this lack of love. His father seems to be indifferent to the problem, being much more preoccupied by the forthcoming municipal elections. His rejection plunges Poil de Carotte into the depths of despair and he tries several times to commit suicide. Fortunately, his father arrives at the last minute to save him and finally has a proper conversation with his son. From now on, Poil de Carotte will have someone to defend him against his mother.
