A 1944 French film about saving kids from themselves — and the system that failed them.
An officer, two of his comrades and a social worker want to create the "Carrefour", a place for lost children and teens to give them a chance not to fall by the wayside and spend most of their life in jail.
Acting
Serge Reggiani's simmering intensity as the wounded Joris.
Direction
Joannon's surprisingly modern handheld street scenes for 1944.
