Plot synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Marie runs away from the children’s home and heads home. But, realising that her down-and-out father doesn’t want her, Marie returns. The sensitive girl struggles to get used to the rudeness of her peers. Once she understands the reason behind this little hell, she realises that she doesn’t have to get used to it at all: she has enough strength to stand up for herself...
