Synposis: In her breakout film role, Scarlett Johansson plays Manny, a foster child who runs away from her adopted parents with her older sister Laurel. The two are constantly on the go, eating and sleeping whenever and wherever they can. But when Laurel becomes pregnant, they find they can't make it through this crisis on their own. With nowhere else to turn, they decide to kidnap Elaine, a clerk in a local baby supply store. The girls soon realize, however, that Elaine might be just as needy as they are themselves. For this performance, 12-year old Scarlett was nominated for 'Best Female Lead' at the 1997 Independent Spirit Awards.
