French working-class drama nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2014, starring Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard as a young woman who will lose her job unless she convinces her colleagues to give up their bonuses. Directed by two-time Palme d'Or winners, the Dardenne brothers (The Kid with a Bike, L’enfant).
"Cotillard is wonderful as Sandra, a woman in a precarious position. Her employer at a solar-panel factory has given her colleagues a stark choice - they must choose to either receive a bonus or have Sandra return to work after a leave of absence. An initial ballot is not promising for her. The employer agrees to another vote, leaving Sandra one weekend to convince the majority of her colleagues to sacrifice their bonuses so she can keep her job. With the help of her husband Manu (Dardenne brothers regular Fabrizio Rongione), Sandra visits her colleagues one by one to make her case." (Sydney Film Festival)
