À 17 ans, Thérèse est une vendeuse de fleurs coincée entre un patron aux intentions malsaines, une famille qui ne lui laisse aucune intimité et Charlot, un voyou un peu trop envahissant. Jusqu’au jour où elle rencontre André et devient sa maîtresse.

Two Pennies Worth of Violets (1951)
98 min
Thérèse, a young flower girl, tries hard to remain virtuous but the whole world seems to conspire against her, whether her petty Paris family, or her relatives in the province bristling with false respectability, or her lustful employer, or the boy she loves who seduces her and abandons her. But at the end of the day there is Yvon, her childhood friend. Will he be the one that will love her truly?
