In this portrait, Kim is some 20 years old and has already married Nicolas Jacquier since more than two years. She is now, as her friend Silvia, a biology student at the University Paris 7, both of them being somewhat rivals for the first rank of their class. Kim is facing a difficult situation because altough she is student and married, she has to help her four younger brothers and sisters, and her family is very poor, whereas Silvia is the only child of her adoptive parents and has received the heritage of her wealthy granduncle to pay her studies. Both are talking at the library of the Paris National Museum of Natural History: Silvia has asked to Kim if she could accept to come with her in Africa to build a school for bush children, but as you see Kim is really not ready to follow her! Kim hates adventures anyway
