SLa0	post #1  on February 21, 2005 - 2:31 PM PST   Anyone recall the name of an old french TV series which revolved around the lives and adventures of these kids who lived in the same apartment complex? There was a girl who had 2 goldfish named Plic and Ploc. Another episode featured 2 kids delivering food to a neighbor in the same building by using a basket and rope. I saw these shows in French class in middle school. Anyone recall the name? Thanks!

This also happens in a children's book I loved as a kid, Astrid (Pippi Longstockings) Lindgren's Lotta pa Brakmakargatan (Lotta moves out)... I remember watching this French film and thinking, "Oh that's just like in the Lotta book..."

hamano	post #7  on February 3, 2006 - 6:38 PM PST   Okay, I've solved this problem... almost a year, but it's Small Change by François Truffaut. I'm pretty sure this is where I saw the groceries being pulled up with a rope, and here is proof about Plic and Ploc. Just go to that page and do "find" for "Plic" or "Ploc"....

If I ever have a kid, I'm going to give him a giant baguette to carry around. I hear it makes them breakproof.

I hear it makes them breakproof. Which, the bread, or the kids? ^_^ I wonder if SLa0poke is even still around to rent Small Change...
