Synopsis
Alice, 20, lives in Normandy. Passionate about embroidery, she invents, creates, trying to find her own path. She wonders what to do with her innate talent, until she meets Agnes, a rich Parisian lady who helps her to reach a prestigious school. Without hesitation, Alice leaves everything behind to start a new life alone in Paris. There, she meets Antoine, the son of Agnes, and they soon fall passionately in love. Antoine finds in Alice a sincerity and a simplicity that free him from the "bourgeois" environment he hates, while Alice enters a fascinating world: "the high society"... with the risk of losing herself in it.
