Anne (Binoche) is a professional journalist writing an article about student prostitution for Elle magazine. Anne finds herself drawn to two young women in particular: impoverished Polish student Alicja (Joanna Kulig) and Charlotte (Anaïs Demoustier), who comes from one of the vast and anonymous housing estates on the outskirts of Paris. As she learns more about the young women and their experiences, Anne begins to question her own firmly-held convictions about money, sex, marriage and motherhood.
