Small Change
Directed by François Truffaut
Produced by Les Productions Artistes Associés, Les Films du Carrosse
A warm, episodic portrait of childhood in a French community that balances mischievous innocence with the real hardships—abuse, poverty, loss—that shape young lives.
The lives of a motherless young man, who's just starting to find interest in women, and his physically abused, poverty stricken friend, are mixed with more or less innocent childhood experiences and challenges most their age experience.
