Cute little boy story

During the Nazi occupation of France, in a little village, ugly duckling boy wants to win the love of a girl. But he's an unlucky little man. Nobody seems to care for him. But he became a hero by capturing a German soldier (not really his fault, but...) Warm and funny story, well written and acted. The setting of the little village of France is wonderful, so is the attitude of the members of the boy's family. Very refreshing and, again, French proves that they're the best for making films with children.
