An Impudent Girl

Charlotte Castang, a resilient 13-year-old girl from a grim, downtrodden neighborhood, longs to escape her dreary existence and embrace adulthood. Orphaned at birth and raised by her coarse brother and absent father, Charlotte sees friendship in Lulu, an ailing 10-year-old she often finds irritating. Plagued by ennui and yearning for something greater, Charlotte's life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Clara Bauman, a prodigious pianist whose talent captivates her. This chance encounter sets the stage for a story of friendship, self-discovery, and the transformative power of music in the midst of adversity.
