The award-winning 33 Scenes From Life director’s new film which premiered at Toronto, follows Anne (Juliette Binoche), a wealthy Paris-based mother of two and investigative journalist for Elle, who is writing an article about student prostitution. Her meetings with two fiercely independent young women, are profound and unsettling, moving her to question her most intimate convictions about money, family and sex.
