“According to some reports, great many female students in France financed their studies from prostitution. This film starts from this report. Juliette Binoche plays the journalist who interviews two of these girls. Many times.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eShe tries to analyze it all from a cold professional view, but finds that she is the one who changes and maybe also gets analyzed. The girls tell her they are abused sometimes, but Binoche is the one who takes the biggest injuries.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eInteresting film about u0026quot;Western moralsu0026quot; declining more and more in all ways, since weu0026#39;re not interesting in sharing profits like we used to.
