Story: "Frog and Toad are Friends" by Arnold Lobel

with Peter Woods; Weather

The imaginary circus of the great French painter Georges Rouault is beautiful and sinister, a symbol of the best and worst in society. Rouault died in 1958; a recluse, poet, devout Roman Catholic, he painted the victims of society, the tragic performers in a universal circus. And yet he reconciled this world of the shadows with his serene religious images. In this film Rouault's circus is brought to life.

The third of four films that show what happens when human beings are brought face to face with a code to which they must conform.
A 16-year-old boy is committed to the care of his local authority. He arrives at a Community Home (formerly called an Approved School), and joins a group of other boys similarly placed.
The film concentrates on what happens in the next eight weeks - as the boy is faced with the problems of adjusting (or not) to his new companions and to the disciplines of his new home.
