原題は「バルタザールが行き当たりばったり」というほどの意。フランス南西部ピレネーの笑えるシーンが一度もない悲しいお話なの。ロバのバルタザールは、教師の娘マリーと農家の息子ジャックにかわいがられて育ったのだけど、その後売られてしまい、過酷な労働とひどい虐待に耐えながら、飼い主を転々と変え、最終的には、密輸の手伝いをさせられてしまい、ピレネー山中で、税関員が発砲した流れ玉にあたり、放牧中の羊の群れの中でひっそり息をひきとるの。ロバの目がみた人間のむごさにとことんへこむわ。世の中には悪い人がいるものね。

Where to go Balthazar Au Hasard Balthazar
The original title is "Balthazar is a hit and miss". It's a sad story that has never had a funny scene in the Pyrenees in southwestern France. Donkey Balthazar grew up being petted by his daughter Marie and his son Jack, a farmer, but was sold afterwards, enduring harsh labor and terrible abuse, and eventually changing owners. I was forced to help with smuggling, and in the mountains of Pyrenees, a customs officer fired a donkey and quietly took a breath in a flock of grazing sheep. The donkey's eyes are completely dented by the human ugliness. There are bad people in the world.
