Paris, 13th District Overview

Émilie (Lucie Zhang), a call center employee, is looking for a roommate. She gets a call from someone named Camille (Makita Samba) and assuming this to be a woman, she agrees to have Camille come meet with her. Camille turns out to be a charming male literature professor, who convinces Emilie to take him on a trial. Soon after, they begin sleeping with each other. But just as quickly, he loses interest and finds another lover. When Emilie gets clingy, he moves out.

A few months later, while holding the fort in a friend's real estate agency, where he’s taking the opportunity to write his doctoral thesis, Camille hires Nora (Noémie Merlant), a naive and insecure woman who, because of a humiliating misunderstanding with a sex worker on social media, dropped out of law school.

This film follows the lives of four adults — Emilie, Camille, Nora and Amber — who are friends and sometimes lovers.
