Short description

At the age of 10 years, young Rémi is snatched from his adoptive mother and entrusted to the signor Vitalis, a mysterious itinerant musician. Has its hard sides - he will learn the harsh life of acrobat and sing to win his bread. Accompanied by the faithful dog capi and of the small monkey Joli-Coeur, his long trip through France, made for meetings, friendships and mutual assistance, leads him to the secret of its origins.

What's left behind the scenes

  • An adaptation of the work by Hector Malot (1830-1907), first published in 1878. The two-volume novel has been adapted for the screen numerous times. Examples include the film 'Sans Famille' (1934) by Marc Allégret (1900-1973), the同-titled picture (1958) by André Michel (1910-1989), as well as a Japanese animated television series (51 episodes of 24 minutes each), first shown in France in 1982.
  • The plot of the adaptation, based on the 1878 soap opera-style novel 'Sans Famille' (Nobody's Boy), unfolds over four years. Unable to fit the entire timeline into a movie, director Antoine Blossier condensed the story to one year and structured the events into three acts.
  • Filming the storm scene in England took three days of studio work.
  • Malome Pakuin, who played young Rémy, was the 15th child director Antoine Blossier saw during auditions. Before casting him in the role, Blossier had screened nearly 400 boys.
  • Malom Pakuin, who played Remy as a child, was the 15th child that director Antoine Blossier auditioned. Before casting him in the role, Blossier viewed nearly 400 boys.
  • The plot is based on the adaptation of the work “Without a Family” (1878), written in the genre of a soap opera, unfolds over four years. Director Antoine Blossier could not fit all of this into the film, so he shortened the story to one year and placed all the events into three acts.
  • The dog named Kapi is a real circus dog. It genuinely performs the tricks that viewers see in the film.
  • A screen adaptation of the work by Hector Malot (1830-1907), first published in 1878. The two-volume novel has been adapted for the screen many times.

  • It took 3 days of studio work to film the storm scene in England.
