L'ENFANT ET LES SORTILEGES - SYNOPSIS

Ìý

In the first scene the child, badly behaved, breaks crockery and tortures his pets. The furniture comes to life and retaliates, followed, in the second scene, by the plants and creatures in the garden. The boy cries out for his mother, ‘Maman’, the creatures attack him, but he helps the wounded Squirrel. The animals are moved by this and lead the boy back to the house.
