When the university has its grants cut, Julie loses the funds to finish her doctoral thesis, and thus her dream of getting a position at her favourite museum is threatened. In order to continue, she now needs to get money in some other way. Julie is very knowledgeable about languages (she is fluent in ten languages as well as two extinct languages) and she gets the idea to teach languages. She is tasked by a couple of parents she teaches to teach their son, Dan, French so that he can better speak to his French girlfriend in her language. It also turns out that Dan works at the museum that Julia wants to work at.
The film holds up even if Corey Sevier who plays Dan is not particularly good.
