Henriette Jelinek

Françoise Sagan, Clara Malraux, Henriette Jelinek, and Françoise Mallet-Joris share their views on literature and discuss what drives them to write.

In the summer of 1939, 13-year-old Marie goes with her parents to visit her grandparents in a small town near Avignon. Marie discovers her femininity and falls for a young Jewish doctor, but he prefers Eva, Marie's mother.

When her mother dies, a teenage girl, together with her five-year-old brother, decides to find her long-absent sailor father.
