Hello.
I am looking for the title of a drama about an orphaned boy.
It was made between the 60s and the 80s. It was in color. It was either a movie or a mini series. It was probably american or british. I think it was a period film, not set in the contemporary time the movie was made.
The movie was following the story of an orphaned white kid. At some point he was adopted by an asian man, either Chinese or Japanese, probably Japanese. The man had his own kids in his family and his wife hated the adopted kid.
I remember only one scene. The kid was eating with his stepmother. When he finishes, she asks him if he wants some more. The kid accepted and gives her his plate while telling her that he is still hungry. The woman picks the ladle, puts it in the kettle with the food, then hovers it above the kid's plate and very carefully she drops a single drop of gravy to the kid's plate. The kid looks at her with a confused look, then picks some bread, soaks the bread on the gravy and starts cleaning his plate with it and then he eats it.
I think the kid didnt stay in the asian family for long, and later he was adopted by another family.
and that's it.
anyone knows the title of the movie?
WARNING:
maybe I got it the wrong way, maybe it was actually an asian orphaned boy who was adopted by a white family. so keep that in mind.
