Synopsis

À la suite d'une déception amoureuse, Félicité propose ses services à M Aubain, une veuve avec deux jeunes enfants. Embauchée pour s'occuper du ménage, nourrir, habiller et surveiller le petit garçon et la petite fille, elle se prend d'une grande affection pour eux. Félicité s'occupe également de son jeune neveu tous les dimanches, elle l'affectionne et celui-ci le lui rend bien et a un perroquet rouge prénommé Loulou. Mais M Aubain est très froide et hautaine et malgré l'affection que sa fille, Clémence, porte à Félicité (celle-ci remplace en effet sa mère maladroite et qui ne sait pas montrer d'émotion), M Aubain ne cache pas son mépris pour le « cœur simple » qu'est Félicité.

The film focuses on 15-year-old Billy Casper, who has little hope in life and is bullied, both at home by his physically and verbally abusive older half-brother, Jud, and at school. He is constantly held to account for some prior run-ins with the police, although he insists that his mischief is behind him. Yet we see evidence of his mischievous side as he carries out his morning newspaper delivery, stealing eggs and milk from milk floats. He has difficulty paying attention in school and is often provoked into tussles with classmates.
