Small Change

In the quaint French town of Thiers, the streets abound with the sound of children laughing. While most of them deal with such simple issues as puppy love, some don't find life so easy. The hungry ones play upon the heartstrings of neighbors for food, and the lonely ones cause trouble for attention. But when the truth behind one boy's thievery is revealed, a shockwave is sent through the picturesque town that opens the villagers' eyes to their children's pain. François Truffaut directs.
