Taking their deeply humane and political movies one step further, the Dardenne brothers cooperate with Marion Cotillard in this shocking travelogue of a woman who is trying to maintain her job and especially her dignity in the years of the economic crisis.

Synopsis

A young wife and mother works in a factory in a small Belgian town. In her absence, her colleagues realize that they can cover her shift with small overtimes and monetary bonuses. Her fate lies in the hands of 16 workers, whom she must convince to refuse monetary bonuses in order to keep her job. She enters a battle to save her seat, two days and one night, before the final vote.
