Lise, Chara's girlfriend, volunteers to look after Maria and soon discovers that Maria is covered with welts from a severe beating. Confessing that she is afraid to go home, Maria reluctantly admits that she ran away after her father beat her "because he said I was evil like my mother". Chara learns that no social agency in Montreal will assume care of Maria because she is over 18 years old, so Chara and Lise decide to support Maria themselves and encourage her to sue her father for assault. Maria wins her case and begins a new life.Language:EnglishGenre:DRAMA -
