A beautifully empowering story about a woman’s journey to self discovery. Alice (Emilie Piponnier) is the perfect wife and mother, living happily with her husband Francois and their son in an apartment in Paris. When her credit cards are declined one day while shopping she makes a shocking discovery about her husband and in desperation is forced to find work as a high end prostitute. Emilie Piponnier delivers the performance of the year as a brave woman who reaches a critical turning point in her life.
