Brief synopsis
Inspired by a true story:
"Today is the first day of your new life. You're part of the crew now. You're not a child anymore, you'll be a woman. And everybody will respect you."
A fifteen-year-old girl from the Parisian banlieue gets a job. She's supposed to go on a date with a young man. She's supposed to make him drive her home and lure him into a trap. In return she will get protection and will be part of a group - She will finally be unassailable.
But then something happens which neither herself nor her bosses have expected: In front of her sits a young man. Not an enemy. Not a victim. She's facing a difficult decision...
