A beautiful Chaplinesque scene from the avant garde French silent film classic titled Ménilmontant (a neighborhood in Paris where they filmed The Red Balloon 3 decades later).
Starring Nadia Sibirskaia as a French girl whose parents are murdered before her eyes; looking for love in the wrong place she becomes pregnant out of wedlock, is homeless and starving, and suddenly finds kindness in the most unlikely of places.
Directed by Dimitri Kirsanoff, who was married to the actress.
