Synopsis:

A cry of hatred and revolt, Vipère au poing is adopted from one of the most famous and popular child-hood-themed novels in French literature. Largely autobiographical, it tells on the tragical-comic mode of the violent and ruthless fight of a ten year old child against his own mother in the midst of a declining upper-middle class family at the end of the 1920s.
