What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A radiant young sex worker thrives amidst the clients of Paris’s Les Halles under the protectiveness of her pimp. Her carefully balanced existence unravels when she meets a working‑class man and falls in love, forcing her to confront the emotional and social consequences of pursuing a different path.
