| Molly Clearwater is working as an assistant in a London public relations firm. Although she was thrilled to get her first job in London, the work has not made much use of her honours English literature degree and she does not seem to be appreciated by her annoying boss, Malcolm. But then Malcolm invites her to accompany him to make a presentation in Paris and Molly thinks she is finally being recognized, until she learns that Malcolm asked her to go to Paris so he can try to get her into his bed.
An angry Molly resigns but on her way home, she decides to go to Paris on her own. She has worked hard all her life and never been outside of England. When she arrives in Paris, she meets Alicia, an Australian, who takes her to a club. There, Molly meets Fabrice, a young Parisian artist, who shows her around Paris and tells her she is beautiful. Meanwhile, Malcolm is trying to find Molly because she has the computer disk necessary for his presentation and Molly's mother is looking for her because she did not call. As Molly tours around Paris, goes to a museum with Fabrice and rollerblading with Alicia, she examines what she wants in her life. She has been unusually close to her mother because she has never known who her father is. | ||
