Laurent Moreau presents a narrative centered on Elise, who has achieved her dream of working for a renowned, starred restaurant. Her life is anchored by Julien, her best friend, with whom she shares a sibling-like bond. The story begins with the pair meeting for coffee before Elise attends her final job interview.
