One finds out Laura is really relating her story of what she has to do to make ends met as a student. She is a language student, and in class, she collapses. It seems she wasn't eating enough, and she wasn't eating because she had no money. She shares a place with Manu, but the expenses became greater than she was originally told. She starts to look for jobs, and finds one that intrigues her at a decent payment. It is with Joe, a gym teacher, who simply wants to be with a young, pretty and naked girl. He seems nice, and pays well, but some of the other meetings with others do not go well, and she is raped. In telling Manu that she got raped just to pay the rent resulted in her leaving him in disgust, since he didn't care. She meets another student who is studying languages, and helps her out and she finds he really cares about her. But the idea of where her money comes from wears on him, and he becomes jealous and he starts to follow her. She leaves him, goes to Paris, but the higher costs there really cause problems, as no one wants to hire a student, as they want a person full time, and she wants her degree. So will this put her into a cycle she wants to escape from? The movie doesn't pull any punches. There are advantages and disadvantages to her in getting money, yet she cannot live without money. Some of the money she makes comes easily, and some comes at a terrible toll on her. It is not really erotic, just matter of fact and about survival. But can she break free of the cycle? Déborah François as Laura sells the movie.
