Roxane Mesquida (born 1 October 1981) is a French actress. Born in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, Mesquida grew up in Le Pradet though, a little town located between Hyères and Toulon in the Var département. She was discovered at the age of 13, while walking on a road in her region, by the director Manuel Pradal who was in the middle of the casting process for his movie Marie Baie des Anges (Mary from the Bay of Angels with Vahina Giocante and Emmanuelle Béart) at the time. She took part in the shooting during the next summer after their encounter. In 1998, she played in L'École de la chair by Benoît Jacquot and crossed paths with the controversial director who would make her well-known and, according to Mesquida, who made her learn her craft: Catherine Breillat. First they collaborated in À ma sœur! (Fat Girl), then in Sex Is Comedy, and they worked together again during the spring of 2006 on Une vieille Maîtresse with Asia Argento. She wanted to go to Art School (the Beaux-Arts) but finally abandoned the idea to pursue her career in acting. She is still passionate about the Arts and often visits museums. Her favourite painting is The Scream by Norwegian expressionist painter Edvard Munch. Among actors of her generation, she admires Romain Duris and Scarlett Johansson but her absolute idol is Romy Schneider and she says she has seen all her movies. She says she is fiercely opposed to the idea of ever becoming financially dependent to cinéma and that she'd rather do baby-sitting than accept a role in a commercial movie she would not like.

Misty is a twenty-five-year-old Italian who moved to London, where she makes a living by offering to perform all kinds of services at home. Her best friends are Tilly, a girl her age who stayed in Italy and dreams of becoming a porn star, with whom she maintains a pen-pal relationship, and Labelle, a middle-aged Frenchwoman she met in London, who also settled there after leaving her husband and children. One of Misty's best clients is an English woman named Mary. One evening, Mary sends her a cassette tape through a young man named Liam, who works for her, intending for Misty to learn a song that she must sing to her. Unexpectedly, Misty falls madly in love with Liam, who, however, is also Mary's lover and does not want to break off the relationship with her. Disappointed by Liam, Misty finds comfort in Bryan, a twenty-nine-year-old she met by chance, and in Arlette, an eighteen-year-old American from Buffalo. Bryan, Arlette, and Misty engage in a threesome; afterward, the two girls wander around London pretending to be prostitutes. Misty then resumes her "home services" activity, but deep inside, she starts to feel disgusted by this way of life.
