Hélène is studying philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris, living with a difficult but brilliant young musician. Through working in an accessories boutique in the Latin Quarter at weekends however, her life takes an unexpected direction as her eyes are opened to another world. Her curiosity leads her to New York and then to India, where she learns more about the origins of the products she sold and looks into the issue of child labour.
