Une vie gaspillée
A Life Wasted
Year: 1910

An alcoholic father is a bit heavy-handed with his daughter. The laundress mother also wields a beater. She scolds the young girl, who reluctantly brings the clean washing to a customer. In the end the delivery lingers around a few drinks and some indecent proposals, so much so that the young scatterbrain doesn't return to the fold. Spoilt and wooed she quickly becomes a kept woman.
