Children of Montmartre

The story follows Rose, who, after facing personal tragedy with her father's bankruptcy and subsequent death, becomes a maid at a kindergarten in Montmartre. She dedicates herself to the care of 150 poor children, quickly becoming their favorite due to her loving attention. Among these children is Marie, the daughter of a prostitute, who forms a bond with Rose but also feels jealousy towards her.

As Rose navigates her role in the school, she inadvertently leads the children through an educational experiment, revealing her college education in the process. This revelation puts her job at risk as the principal considers firing her. The film explores Rose's struggle to remain in her position and the impact of her choices on the children, particularly Marie. With its strong female perspective, "Children of Montmartre" is a notable entry in the drama genre of the early 1930s.
