The Hussy

In a French town in 1979, François (Claude Hébert) is twenty and lives in his parents' house, gathering boxes and bottles to sell to the local shopkeepers. He takes Mado (Madeleine Desdevises), an eleven-year-old whose family has little patience for the odd way she shows affection, and hides her in the attic. Jacques Doillon follows the two of them behind a door that the police, and the neighbors, will read very differently than they do.
