Little Dramas 1960 streaming

The film opposes the view that childhood is the happiest time of our lives. Childhood dramas are deeply etched in memory and leave a permanent imprint on our consciousness. The Carousel Part I. Little boys from a small town want to take a ride on the carousel but they have no money. They push the carousel for hours. They hope that the owner will eventually give them a free ride. In the evening, however, they are already too tired to take up his offer. They are allowed a ride, but they refuse. The Fall of a Millionaire Part II. A ten-year-old boy wants to impress his friends. He is feeble and shy, but he has a piggy bank, which becomes the object of desire for his peers. He tells the other boys that he will soon buy a bicycle from the accumulated savings. When the bank is broken into pieces, the myth of the millionaire is shattered. There are only banknotes painted by the little dreamer.
