Synopsis
“I was born with music one Christmas Eve. I was three years old when my mother killed herself. My grand-parents took me in. Their whole place stank of mothballs. I don't love them and never did. I raised hell whenever I could. Finally, they couldn't stand me any more, which suited me fine since I felt the same way about them. So from then on, it was the Social Services. That's where I met Solange who was a real troublemaker, always ready to try anything. Ahmed... him I met later, in the projects. Since then, he sticks to me like glue. He uses up all my oxygen. So now, Solange and Ahmed are the only family I have. We live, however we feel like it, managing the best we can. When it gets too tough, we get high. But, today, I gotta leave them, I have to find my son of a bitch father. I swear to you, mom, I'll kill him, slowly but surely, slowly, tenderly..”

About
"Firstly, "Elisa" is the encounter between a highly talented young actress and a director with a greying moustache who were eager to work together. Then, there was a producer who made their dream come true. It was a magnificent experience. Vanessa and Christian, I love this film that we made together. Thank you both."
(Jean Becker)
