Martha of the North (Marie s'en va-t-en ville)

Thirteen-year-old Marie (Genevieve Lenoir) leaves home after being abused by her brother. She runs off to the city where she is befriended by Sarah (Frederique Collin), a prostitute and small-time cocaine dealer whom Marie believes is a waitress until her pimp comes by to beat her.

Marie and Sarah develop a relationship that threatens to become more in this potentially disturbing and realistic drama.
