Plot
Marithé works in a training centre and her task is to assist people who are seeking alternative job options. One day, Carole arrives at the centre. She has never completed her studies and is starting to feel overshadowed by her husband, Sam, a talented Michelin-starred chef. It seems that it is not a job that Carole needs, but rather about her asserting her own independence and to leave her husband; and Marithé does all to help Carole to set out down a new path. However, things become complicated when the man Marithé is secretly attracted to is Sam.
