True love or easy money -- which would you choose? Fresh from graduating with her master's in philosophy, Anna is shocked when a career counsellor tells her she has 'no special skills'. Desperate for work and financial independence, she accepts a thankless job at a TV talk show. She might be making minimum wage, but at least she has her boyfriend Lulu, the love of her life, to come home to at night. But one day Lulu starts throwing up cash -- thousands of euros in just a few days -- hurtling the twenty-something couple into unforeseen wealth. Having spent their lives proudly rejecting consumer society, they suddenly find themselves rich, and Anna is loving every minute of it: she gets a designer bag, they vacation in Tahiti, they throw wild parties in their fancy new apartment. As Anna grows accustomed to a life of luxury, Lulu's health suffers, and she wonders: what would be worse, losing him or losing the money? In Self-Worthnewcomer Emma Tholozan delivers a raw, brutally funny portrait of a generation without ideals.
