Nadia raised, alone, her son Noé in Paris suburbs. She is proud when he is accepted in second in the prestigious high school Henri IV. To promote her studies, she moved to Paris and went into debt to offer what others have. She discovers the pleasure of buying, unknowingly developing an addiction to consumption. Even as her son manages to adapt to his new high school, she can not stop.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
