Storyline

The illegitimate orphan child, 12-year-old Max, is sold by the local minister for a basket of food to the Bösiger family, who own a mountain farm. Max' initial hope of finally finding a loving home is brutally shattered: The farmer and his wife treat Max like livestock, and their son Jacob humiliates and abuses him. Only the local teacher notices the child suffering on the farm.—OJT

Short Review

It was a tough movie to watch. A solid drama, I only wished that 'Sam' was a better actor. Everybody else was pretty much great. Can't believe stuff like this happened in one of the most civilized countries on earth. Ignorance is everywhere.
