Synopsis
This series tells the story of Remi, a humble and cheerful young girl, who is an excellent singer, and lives in a French town in the countrieside with her mother. She discovers that she was a "foundling" or an abandoned child and was adopted by Mother Barberin. Her step father Jerome leaves to work in Paris and expects Mother Barberin to send Remi to the workhouse. He returns 10 years later and finds that Remi is still there, and becomes furious. Because they had become so poor Remi is sold to a traveling performer named Vitalis by Jerome.

Production notes
This TV series ran for 26 episodes. This series aired in Japan on the Fuji TV network as part of the World Masterpiece Theater between September 1, 1996 and March 23, 1997.
This was the final anime series from the original "World Masterpiece Theater." The series was cancelled after airing only 23 episodes because of poor ratings. It was considered the worst of the World Masterpiece Theater due to drastic changes in the story (including changing the gender of the main character.)
The story is adapted from "Sans Famille", a 1878 French novel, written by Hector Malot. In Sans famille, Rémi is a boy; for this series, Remi became a girl.
