Elisa is a French film directed by Jean Becker and starring Gerard Depardieu, Vanessa Paradis, Firmine Richard and Florence Thomassin. It was released in 1995.
Marie has had a tough childhood ever since her mother Elisa committed suicide. She has spent most of her life in an orphanage and now makes a living as a small time criminal in Paris. Now she wants to unravel her past and find her father whom she blames for her mother's death.
Plot
Marie is a teenage girl living a semi-criminal life on the streets of Paris with her friends. Her mother, Elisa, suffering from a deep depression, tried to kill little Marie when she was very young and subsequently committed suicide, while her father has never been part of her life. One day she decides to take revenge on her father for not helping her when she lost her mother. But when she finds him she realises that she cannot kill her own father, at least not before he has had the chance to explain.
