- DirectorLaurent CantetStarsJalil LespertJean-Claude VallodChantal BarréThe 35-hour work week has all of France in its thrall. This film turns it into a feature about economic and familial politics. Frank, a business school graduate, returns to his provincial hometown to take a management position in the factory where his father has been working for 30 years.
