The plot unfolds as a taut thriller that examines the characters' vulnerability and strengths. The subplot, however, explores a relationship between a woman & a girl; Rekha, the protagonist, is a sex worker who tries to rescue Nandhini, a twelve-year-old girl, from the clutches of prostitution. The journey takes us through the brutality and the hypocrisy that surrounds us, which we deliberately choose to ignore—broken homes, abuse, unfulfilled dreams, manipulation, blackmail, threat, hopelessness and paranoia. It's a dog-eat-dog world where nothing is as simple as it appears.

The film does not tell a story so much as present an essay-like study of Godard's view of contemporary life; Godard wrote that "I wanted to include everything: sports, politics, even groceries. Everything should be put in a film". Godard himself narrates the film in a whispered voice-over that discusses his fears to the audience about the contemporary world, including the Vietnam War. The film often cuts to various still shots of bright consumer products and ongoing construction.

À l'époque actuelle, Noha, Randa, Soukaina et Hlima vivent d’amours tarifés à Marrakech. Objets de désirs inavoués dans la société marocaine, elles décrivent à l'aide du langage de la prostitution leur vie de tous les jours, allant des pseudos relations amoureuses avec des Européens à la prostitution institutionnalisée avec les Saoudiens, en passant par la corruption policière sans masquer les problèmes sociétaux comme les relations familiales où l'argent remplace l'amour filial. Tantôt joyeuses et complices mais aussi tristes et rejetées, elles pointent du doigt cette société qui les utilise et les avilit.
