Picture by 2018 NORD-OUEST FILMS. A car manufacturer in South France with its headquarters in Germany. The firm works profitably, yet is supposed to be closed down – it is not competitive enough. The 1,100 employees have accepted hard financial losses and are going on strike. An enthralling, almost documentary-like film, which accompanies the work force in its fight in a very authentic, knowledgeable and informative way. ”I look at a system which from the viewpoint of the markets is objectively coherent, but from a human perspective is just as objectively incoherent. I contrast both these standpoints in the film”, explains director Stéphane Brizé. There were standing ovations for this film in Cannes!
