At War

The shutdown is to take place despite major financial sacrifices on the part of the workers. Led by their spokesperson Laurent Amédéo, the workforce rejects this brutal decision and will do anything to save their jobs. "A seemingly unadorned work, shot in the style of a TV report, which unfolds its effect primarily through its unyielding stance - and which shocks at the end with a scene that sends you out of the cinema in a daze."
