Starring Best Actress César nominee Laure Calamy, this tense, gripping French drama follows single mother Julie Roy’s frenetic attempts to balance childcare, money worries and a long commute by train into central Paris for her job as Head Chambermaid at a 5-star hotel. All the while, she looks for better-paid employment more suited to her qualifications and prioritises everyone in her life before herself.
A public transport workers strike gridlocks the city and wrecks Julie’s tight schedule, causing her to regularly arrive late for both work in the mornings and collecting her children in the evenings, irritating both their nanny and her boss. Under increasing pressure, Julie hitchhikes with strangers and pays for taxis.
She attends two job interviews at a marketing firm during working hours with her colleagues’ reluctant agreement to cover her. However, Julie’s unauthorised absence is discovered by her manager. The protests and traffic jams cause Julie to keep being late and her hotel swipe card is suddenly stopped. She tries unsuccessfully to persuade the porter to let her in, and an expected phone call about the outcome of her job interviews does not come.
Will there be any good news for Julie?
