Solange (Florence Vignon) is in a dull marriage and works for the police department of a small French city, writing parking tickets and enduring abuse, and she has fallen into a comfortable low-grade depression. Mylene (Mathilde Seigner), an old friend who has become a celebrity television personality, arrives in town, and the two reconnect. Solange confesses her ambition of becoming a singer, and Mylene's mild words of encouragement convince Solange to travel to Paris to follow her dream.
