Hi! I’m looking for the title of a movie about a boy that shits on the floor in a house he invaded. That wasn’t the first time that he invaded this house, but, after this particular souvenir he left behind, the owner tricks him into invading her house, again, so that she can get him sent to a reformatory. That’s if I remember it right. I believe it’s from 90’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---

I saw it dubbed on TV over 20 years ago, so… 😅 I guess it was American… I think I remember that the boy was an orphan… that, to make sure he would be put away, he was falsely accused of doing something serious besides trespassing… that it was already very said before he was wrongly condemned for it… and that there was a time jump to when he was being released years later and followed his adult life for maybe half of the film. I always thought of this film as having ‘Cooked Carrots’ in the title 😊 (“Cenouras Cozidas” in Brazilian Portuguese), but couldn’t find anything with neither ‘carrots’ nor ‘cenouras’ in the title that was remotely similar in IMDB nor in another couple of sites that Google lead me to. Maybe it was the false accusation that had something to do with Carrots? 😳 That’s all I can think of right now. ---
