Synopsis

The sexual exploitation of minors

After running away from a youth center, 15-year-old Noémie befriends a group of delinquents with whom her friend Léa is hanging out and falls in love with a pimp. After being convinced, by the pimp and Léa, Noémie agrees to a job as an escort, which starts a downward spiral into prostitution. The emotionally-charged film does not shy aways from showing the brutal life suffered by sex workers and looks at how minors as young as 14 and 15 are entering prostitution.

In collaboration with the Délégation Générale du Québec à Bruxelles
