Synopsis: “L’Argent de Poche” explores the lives of several children in the town of Thiers, France, delving into their experiences, dreams, and challenges. François Truffaut, drawing inspiration from his own childhood, skillfully presents a naturalistic portrayal of the children. In English-speaking countries outside North America, the film is known as “Pocket Money.” The movie achieved significant success in France, with a total of 1,810,280 admissions, ranking it among Truffaut’s most successful works—only surpassed by “The 400 Blows” and “The Last Metro” in popularity within France.Small Change is a story of the struggles and yearnings of young children in Thiers, France, in the summer of 1976. The main characters are Patrick Desmouceaux, who is motherless and just starts getting interested in women such as his young teacher, and his friend Julien Leclou, who lives in poverty and is physically abused at home. Julien cannot stay awake at school after nights without sleep and constantly refuses to change for gym class in order to hide his bruises. The film mixes the story of these characters with other more or less innocent childhood experiences and challenges of a number of children. Scenes include life at school, a toddler and a cat perilously playing on an open windowsill but falling down unhurt, a girl causing confusion with a bullhorn in an apartment window, Bruno showing his friends how to chat up girls, a double date at a movie theater, a child telling a dirty joke, a botched haircut, first love and first kisses.
In the end, Julien’s abuse becomes public and he is taken away from his family. The story ends with the message of one of the teachers about child abuse, injustice, children’s rights, hope, love and resilience: ‘Of all mankind’s injustices, injustice to children is the most despicable! Life isn’t always fair, but we can fight for justice.
What I mean is having endurance and resilience. […] Time flies. Before long, you will have children of your own. If you love them, they will love you. If they don’t feel you love them, they will transfer their love and tenderness to other people. Or to things. That’s life! Each of us needs to be loved!
