Summaries

The rabble has a dream:a place where the children from the wrong side of town could play .

A poor man,who sells cheap toys on the street (puppets,balloons..),finds a diamond ring and brings it back to the owner,a wealthy baroness,who,for the first time in her life ,discovers that all the children were not born silver spoon in hand. The old man and his pals,along with their protege ,a young man ,asks for a place where children could play ,a garden for these brats who got a raw deal . Although some sunshine does break through,it's not a rosy world for all that.The town notables do not believe this riffraff is able to see their idealistic plan through;they try to dishearten this ignorant populace ,their own concern being the next elections.—dbdumonteil
