La Drôlesse (1979) - film review

Drama

Summary

17-year-old naive social misfit François kidnaps 11-year-old Mado and hides her in his attic room above the barn at his family home. Both are unloved by their respective families and soon an innocent bond develops between them. A gentle and touching film about love and loneliness that stays with you long after its end.
