This film must have been inspired by some of the civil disturbances experienced in France during the 19th century--when revolution was in the air. Just like you'd read in "Les Miserables", the film finds a group of revolutionaries in the streets creating a barricade against the army. At the same time, a young teenage boy is just trying to go out to get some milk for his grandmother. In the process, he's assumed to be one of the revolutionaries and when they lose an engagement with the soldiers, they are about to shoot the innocent kid. He begs to go home to bring Granny the milk before they do this and they agree. But then, the idiot actually returns and is about to die--when Granny steps in and saves the day.
An odd and sentimental film, this is watchable but not especially great. Dumb kid!
