Synopsis
Teenager Annie lives in a Parisian apartment with her mother Yvette and her aunt Zita.  When she comes home from school one day, Annie finds her aunt lying on the ground and immediately alerts the house doctor, Bernard.  Zita’s health gradually deteriorates and Annie and Yvette become exhausted through having to take care of the old woman.  In the end, Annie cannot stand the situation any longer and runs away.  In the street, she meets Simon, a rock musician, and follows him to a place where there are mini car races.  When, a short time later, Annie is picked up by the police, Bernard comes to collect her.  Then Bernard learns that Zita has just died.  He decides not to pass on the news to Annie...
