Summary |
Vanessa Paradis stars as the alienated and angry Marie, living as a smart aleck teenage street hustler, burdened by the rage brought upon by the suicide of her emotionally fragile mother, ⁹lisa. Marie's fury inspires her to track down and kill the man who abandoned her and her mother in the first place, her father Jacques. What unfolds is a poignant and desperate plea for tolerance and acceptance, where tragedy and angst can unwind and be replaced by forgiveness and love. |
