Plot summary
In 1970s Paris, twelve-year-old Violetta lives with her grandmother Mamie, who raises her. Hanna, Violetta's mother, left the family to chase a career in photography and gets by on other people's generosity, so she sees her daughter only now and then. On one of those visits she brings the girl to her apartment and asks her to pose. The photographs please her, and she takes up her daughter as a model, putting her in showy clothes. She also brings Violetta into the company of her lover Ernst, a painter who pays for her work. The posing turns Violetta into a kind of Lolita, and at school she grows apart from children her own age.
