‘Sans Famille’ is a story about a boy named Remi, who had lost all of his relatives when he was a baby. However, after a few years living with a kind-hearted woman, he had to follow a small troupe leaded by a man called Vitali and went to all regions in France to perform. And after the death of his old leader, while going around the country with the troupe, he suddenly found his lost family and lived happily ever after.
I think the most impressive thing of the whole story is the main character – Remi. He had to live and work through a life of hardship. When Vitali – a moral leader died, he had to get a living on his own and also ensured the performances and the lives of the members in the street troupe. They had to manage to survive many times after severe hunger and cold. However, in every circumstances, Remi still listened to Vitali’s advice and did not change his human dignity, which included uprightness, bravery, self-esteem, honesty.
This story is appealing not only because of Remi’s hustle life but also the humanistic lesson, which encourages the independence, confidence and sincerity.
