In rural France, an undernourished and unloved young boy attempts suicide.
The suffering and rebellion of 12-year-old François Lepic, nicknamed "Poil de Carotte" by his mother, who hates him. Occupied with the council elections, his father appears unaware that the young boy is increasingly tempted by suicide.
A red-haired boy is his mother's punching bag; only his father's presence is a great comfort to him, but this weak man is under the shrew's thumb. His pain is so great he feels suicidal.
A good-natured kid struggles to earn his mother's love without much success.
As the red headed boy writes in his school book, a family is a group living under the same roof who can't stand each other.
