Fiona(1999)

Fiona is a gritty drama following an abandoned child who grows up in the foster system, enduring abuse before turning to survival on New York's streets as a teenager. Struggling with heroin addiction, she navigates relationships with women, unwanted male attention, and moments of brutal violence while hiding in crack houses. Meanwhile, her mother—herself a streetwalker and addict—occasionally reflects on the daughter she lost years ago. Fiona clutches a necklace from infancy, a fragile thread connecting her to her past. The film traces her journey through desperation and asks whether redemption or reunion might still be possible, or if escape from the city is her only way out.
