Une nuit d’avril 1957. Albertine, 19 ans, saute du mur de la prison où elle purge une peine pour braquage. Dans sa chute, elle se brise l’os du pied : l’astragale. Elle est secourue par Julien, repris de justice, qui l’emmène et la cache chez une amie à Paris. Pendant qu’il mène sa vie de malfrat en province, elle réapprend à marcher dans la capitale. Julien est arrêté et emprisonné. Seule et recherchée par la police, elle se prostitue pour survivre et, de planque en planque, de rencontre en rencontre, lutte au prix de toutes les audaces pour sa fragile liberté et pour supporter la douloureuse absence de Julien…Actors

The film is set during the course of one day. Anne (Juliette Binoche) is trying to meet the deadline for her article about prostitution, while shopping and preparing dinner for her husband's boss and his wife. She is also worried about her two sons, the eldest of whom has been skipping classes while the younger appears to start being hooked on video games. This narrative is interrupted by the flashbacks to the conversations Annie has had with the two students, scenes from their lives, and the effect that their work in the sex industry is having on them and those close to them.
