Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Jenny is a 1936 French drama film, the first full-length feature by Marcel Carné and the first of his successful collaborations with the dialogue writer Jacques Prévert and the composer Joseph Kosma. The screenplay is based on the novel La Prison de Velours by Louis Ribaud (1934). The leading roles are taken by Françoise Rosay, Albert Préjean, Charles Vanel, and Lisette Lanvin.[2] It tells the story of a middle-aged woman in Paris who with underworld support has built up a smart night club, but her life starts falling apart when the young gangster she maintains as her lover falls in love with her daughter. At times the film moves into the realm of poetic realism, where the cinematography, music and dialogue infuse the lives and surroundings of ordinary people with poetry.
