The Little Thief
Directed by Claude Miller
Produced by Orly Films
A character-driven coming-of-age drama set in post-war France that explores a young woman's survival through theft, manipulation, and complicated relationships across an age and power divide.
In a small town in post-WWII France, 16-year-old Janine tries to improve her conditions by any means necessary. Three people—Michel, a married lover; Raoul, a fellow thief; Mauricette, a photographer she meets in prison—will help her learn from her mistakes.
