Synopsis
Rosemonde sold her story to a major Swiss private television network which, to fuel its programming, buys the rights to crime stories from their victims in order to turn them into films.
Eight years earlier, when she was twenty, Rosemonde killed a man who tried to rape her. With no witnesses, the case was dismissed. Paul, a young writer, is commissioned by a producer, Kevin, to write a screenplay based on Rosemonde's life. But even though she has signed a contract and received a generous advance, she is unable to relive her past and closes herself off to Paul and his questions.
Marie, a young actress and friend of Paul's, is then sent in, with the promise of a role in the film if she manages to get Rosemonde to talk.
The film tells the story of the strange relationship between two girls who are worlds apart in terms of background and education. The friendship that gradually develops between them leads them to realize, through their knowledge of each other, that it is absolutely impossible for them to play the game that is imposed on them.
Where one saves the other and the other saves the one.
