Truffaut said, "I have always preferred the reflection of life to life itself." The unforgettable films in this series reflect life in all of its messy, moving, and beautiful complexity.
In a French forest in 1798, a child is found who cannot walk, speak, read or write. A doctor becomes interested in the child and patiently attempts to civilize him.
