While this film does have a 1st person narration by a young woman, the protagonist, to the audience, and it feels like we know more about her life than her relationship to men, the protagonist is unnamed (and so is her lover and her mother). The protagonist is unnamed in the semi-autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras from which this film is based, too. The protagonist does have a conversation with her friend, Helene, about their futures and about prostitution. But the protagonist is unnamed, so it isn't a direct match to the requirements.
