Carl the Wheelbarrow Boy
2006
Synopsis
A heart-warming and humorous tale about a poor family. Seven-year-old Carl is the only male in the house. He lives with his mother and bed-ridden grandma in a tiny hut that doesn’t even have a stove. His mother works delivering pizzas, which means that their diet consists mostly of burnt, discarded pizza. Carl drags a wheelbarrow through the village in the hope of finding scrap metal, and looks for solutions to improve the family's dire financial state.Translations
