Rémi grows up in the French countryside believing that Mother Barberin is his mother. Her kindness gives him a secure home, even though they have little money. Then her husband returns, and Rémi learns that he was found as an abandoned baby. To Jérôme Barberin, the boy is another mouth to feed. Rémi wants to stay with the woman he loves, but adults decide his future without asking him.
