Une Infinie Tendresse
French documentary on the world of a brain-damaged, physically-handicapped child confined to a wheel chair, unable to speak but trying desperately to communicate with his nurse and the other children in the hospital. It chronicles his friendship with another youngster even more crippled than himself, their joy in being together, their little spats and, finally, the termination of their friendship by death. Directed by Pierre Jallaud, it is a remarkable achievement, treating its subject creatively yet with complete integrity. There is no commentary, no dialogue, only the natural sounds of the children and their environment.
Starring José Guerra, Jeanne Lennox, France-Noëlle, John Ainsworth, Serge Rachevsky
It's a drama movie, and has a rating of 8.9 out of 10 from Imdb which is very high for this kind of movie.
