Who is Anne in Elles?

Juliette Binoche plays Anne in the film.

ELLES tells the story of Anne (Binoche), a sophisticated Parisian socialite and mother of two who works as an investigative journalist for Elle Magazine. As Anne uncovers the world of student prostitution for her latest assignment, she develops intimate friendships with her subjects, Alicja (Joanna Kulig) and Charlotte (Anaïs Demoustier). The two young women finance their university studies – and their escape from poverty – by moonlighting as sex workers to bourgeois married men.
