L'Enfance volée (Der Verdingbub) est un film dramatique suisse-alémanique réalisé par Markus Imboden, sorti en 2011.
L'histoire de ce film s'inspire des Verdingkinder, enfants placés en Suisse entre 1880 et 1950.
Synopsis
Dans les années 1950, un adolescent orphelin quitte le foyer dans lequel il est élevé pour être placé dans une famille de fermiers qui reçoit de l'argent en compensation de son accueil. Il passe des moments difficiles dans cet environnement dur et voit arriver un peu plus tard une jeune fille un peu plus jeune que lui et qui est placée là parce que sa mère ne peut plus subvenir à ses besoins et à ceux de ses deux petites sœurs. Le jeune homme est passionné de musique et joue remarquablement de l'accordéon. Un jour, après avoir entendu à la radio un morceau de bandonéon argentin, il rêve de quitter cet environnement, dans lequel on le traite comme un animal, pour aller en Argentine, là où la vie lui semble plus facile. La fille est du même avis et rêve de partir avec lui.Actors
