　　Summary
　　Bullied by his matriarchal mother, abused by his siblings, ignored by his father, Poil de Carotte's childhood is as miserable as it could be. An illegitimate child, he is the main reason for the enmity which exists between his parents, who continue to live together just to keep up appearances. In the end, Poil de Carotte's suffering becomes more than he can bear...
　　Review
　　Drawing heavily on the poignant novel by Jules Renard on which it is based, Poil de carotte is a modest yet appealing film which has stood the test of time mainly because of the quality of its acting performances and its inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also named Poil de Carotte.
　　The part of Poil de Carotte was played by 11 year old Robert Lynen, who was alleged to have been discovered whilst walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Lynen is totally captivating and the film made him an instant star, launching what looked like becoming a very promising film career – until he was shot dead whilst fighting against the Germans in 1944. Harry Baur, a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), also turns in a typically fine performance. The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides its most enduring image, enough to melt the heart of all but the most stoical of spectators.

　　大学生李雯是个清纯美丽的姑娘，她无意中介入了电视台主持人孙平的生活。孙平的家庭看似平静，他与妻子小力各自忙于自己的事业，一心挣钱，夫妻关系日渐冷淡。小力的朋友娜娜等人热心斡旋，但极力维护小力家庭的努力却适得其反，几乎将孙平的家庭推向崩溃的边缘。 正当孙平几乎不能自持之时，他忽然发现李雯竟然是个身患绝症、处于生死边缘的病人。于是孙平、小力和娜娜等人共同投入了对李雯的热心救助之中，没想到这一救助行动又奇迹般地挽救了孙平与小力濒临毁灭的家庭。 每一个人可以通过倾诉和倾听反思自己的生活、重建自己家庭的幸福。
