Plot
During the course of one day. Anne (Juliette Binoche) is trying to meet the deadline for her article about prostitution, while shopping and preparing dinner for her husband's boss and his wife. She is also worried about her two sons, the eldest of whom has been skipping classes while the younger appears to be starting to be hooked on video games. This narrative is interrupted by the flashbacks to conversations Anne has had with two students, scenes from their lives, and the effect that their work in the sex industry is having on them and those close to them.
