Moll Flanders

Born in an 18th-century English prison and immediately orphaned, Moll Flanders (Robin Wright Penn) grows up in a convent. After a priest sexually assaults her, she escapes, ending up pretty and penniless on the streets of London. After becoming a prostitute, Moll falls in love with a poor artist from a rich family and becomes pregnant with his daughter — who ultimately narrates the story of her mother’s tumultuous life and enduring spirit.
