French drama about a student who turns to prostitution as a means of getting by. Working a part time job and studying in France means that Laura (Déborah François) is struggling to make her bill payments, and things are made even worse when her boyfriend insists she start contributing towards the rent. In a desperate attempt to make some money, she answers an online ad by a man looking for 'companionship', assuring herself she won't get too involved.
