What happens

Les Deux Gosses è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Adrien Caillard. Presentato originariamente in due parti distinte (La faute d'une mère, e Fanfan et Claudinet), il film è il secondo di una lunga serie di adattamenti cinematografico dell'omonimo romanzo di Pierre Decourcelle del 1880. Secondo un'accettata convenzione dell'epoca, i ruoli dei due ragazzi protagonisti (Fanfan e Cladinet) furono interpretati da due attrici bambine, le sorelle Madeleine Fromet e Maria Fromet.
