La France en Vrai - Sugar
Synopsis
Filmed behind closed doors in a castle, five young women aged 19 to 27 talk about how they became "sugar babies." This term refers to young women who agree to accompany older, often wealthy men in exchange for cash, gifts, or paid rent. Is this a mutually beneficial arrangement or disguised prostitution? Specialized dating sites exist, avoiding any reference to sex, even though it is an important part of the relationship. With courage, these five women candidly describe what their lives as "sugar babies" are like.
