Cross My Heart - DVD
SKU: 05-PZJW-Y5WP
Montreal, October 1970. 12-year-old Manon’s family is on the verge of falling apart: she and her little brother Mimi are about to be placed in foster care. Manon is outraged. Inspired by current political events, she devises a plan and takes an elderly woman hostage to demand the right to choose her own future. Aided by her cousins Martin and Denis, she leaves the city with Mimi and the old lady, determined to find a refuge where they can finally all be free and happy. A film that is at once sensitive, funny, and harsh, Cross My Heart is a clear-eyed look by children at the adult world, its lies, and its betrayals.
