Jeanne Waltz's directorial debut, Parting Shot, stars Isild Le Besco as Frederique, a nurse who, as the film opens, feels her life is falling apart. She feuds with her father, feels no connection to her patients, and learns her boyfriend has been unfaithful. She attempts to shoot herself, but ends up injuring two teenagers instead. Soon one of the kids, Marco (Steven De Almeida), ends up staying at the hospital where she works. Marco seems to be just as miserable as she is, and soon the two develop a relationship that helps them both through a great deal of emotional pain. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
