Gabriel Rose, a broke beauty influencer, dreams of becoming an actor. But he has neither the talent nor the connections. After yet another failed audition, he meets Stanislas, a golden boy from a wealthy family, who offers to launch a jewelry brand with him. Gabriel sees this as an opportunity to enter Parisian high society, where everything seems easy, at least on the surface...At the same time, he grows close to Pauline, a young researcher in political ecology. Torn between two worlds, Gabriel searches for his place between image and reality, ambition and the need for love.
