Mouchette is a stiff fourteen-year-old girl. He was late for class, walked into the classroom in leather shoes, but stomped the floor wantonly. In the music class, she stubbornly closed her mouth and didn't sing. Then she was forced to sing by the teacher roughly at the piano. She returned to the queue. Knowing that she was out of tune, she tried her best to raise her voice. Finally, she hid her face and wept in the laughter of her classmates. After school, he hid on the slope at the entrance of the school and attacked his classmates by pinching the soil group. After everyone left, came out with hatred and disdain to go home alone. Her family is miserable, her mother is paralyzed in bed, her younger brother is still in her infants and can only cry and need to be taken care of, while her father sells bootleg alcohol for a living in the middle of the night, and is a total alcoholic during the day, indifferent and violent
.
Mouchette did not argue or fight, and asked her to do whatever she did, but she was not numb, just armed herself with malice to protect herself, as if all those who did not take the initiative to approach her were her enemies. She doesn't take the initiative to be kind to others, but her lonely heart also longs for comfort. Once in a bumper car park, the boy who always hit her by car, his active smile made her warm, and she smiled. Afterwards, they searched for each other in the crowd, and just as they were about to break the silent barrier, Mouchette's father suddenly rushed out, slapped her twice and dragged her away. Mouchette just cried silently. The other time was after school one day, but instead of going home, she went straight into the woods. Then it got dark and it started to rain. Mouchette looked for a shelter from the rain, but lost a shoe in the mud on the way. Then he ran into Adonusan, a poacher. He took Mouchette to his cabin and gave her money. He insisted on helping her find her shoes so as not to be scolded by her parents. He told her his fear: he was drunk. , I don’t know if the Ranger was killed. Adonusan's kindness and trust, although inconspicuous, had melted Mouchette's rigid heart and allowed her to express kindness to others for the first time. She takes care of Adonusan who is mad and thinks about how to deal with troubles with lies, but she is raped. Mouchette fled back home in the middle of the night. She didn't know how things would change, she was scared in her heart, and she had to cry silently. But just when Mouchette had the courage to open up her heart to her mother, her mother happened to pass away.
The next day, Mouchette didn't feel too much sadness, and went to the streets with the excuse that he was going to get milk. On the way, she was called by the aunt of the department store and asked her to eat bread and coffee to comfort her. He accidentally found the wound on Mouchette's chest and said seriously, "It was caused by impropriety." Mouchette was silent, threw the bread back angrily, and left. In fact, she went to check the situation around the ranger's house, and she had Adonusang in her mind. But the ranger was unscathed. Adonusan was arrested on suspicion of poaching and mentioned staying with Mouchette in an attempt to escape punishment. Pressed by the ranger's wife, Mouchette said sharply: I am Adonusan's woman.
In the end she chose to die: the first time she rolled down the slope, she rolled in the wrong direction. When she got up again, hearing the sound of the engine, she raised her hand, wanted to shout but stopped. It just so happened that the driver looked back, but didn't stop, maybe he didn't see anything. Mouchette looked disappointed and rolled down the slope again, blocked by the bushes. For the third time, she finally sank into the water, and the ripples gradually dissipated and returned to calm.
