While trying to single-handedly stabilize everyone’s out-of-control lives, Eva’s silent pain might unhinge her own.

How far would you go to keep your child safe? Sylvie and her mother have run their family’s brothel business for years. They’re quite good at it, as proven by their many repeat customers and great online reviews. However, Sylvie’s daughter, Eline, has become increasingly interested in the place where Mommy works. And, for all her mother does to protect her (having her stay in the car, or with her uncle), Eline can’t help but be a curious six-year-old—wandering into the brothel one day. That’s when everything changes.
