Synopsis

An independent prostitute, Alice, who, on reaching her forties, is tired of her work, considers going into therapy to find the strength to change her life.
A psychoanalyst, Xavier, whose wife has just left him and who is weary of his clients' monologues, decides to turn to a professional to satisfy his erotic urges.
This is how he meets Alice. But this isn't the start of a romance; it's the first stage on a difficult journey that, through conflicts, trials and disappointments, forces them to reflect upon their lives.
They both encounter a third character, Pierre Cassagne, whom they will lean on to make a fresh start.
