The unmarried parents quarrel about their different religions and about Hanna's grandparents, but they also love each other. The Catholic mother gets the family of four through her job as a seamstress more badly than right. She is overwhelmed by all the work and ends up in the hospital with an overdose of pills. Hanna experiences anti-Semitism in the schoolyard . She keeps watching the film The Story of Nana S. ( Vivre sa vie ) by Jean-Luc Godard . She takes the main character Nana, played by Anna Karina , as a role model who helps her grow up. The restless Hanna feels misunderstood and left alone by her parents and runs away from home when the father becomes violent in an argument. She takes refuge briefly with her friend Laura. She first experiences sexuality when she surrenders to a suitor for five dollars, where the game becomes serious and the following sequence suggests that she was raped. A teacher she adored brings Hanna back to her family with her dog that she ran into. The film ends with a hug from her mother.
