Logline
A gripping blend of poignant social drama and race-against-time thriller starring a captivating Laure Calamy.
After separating from her husband, Julie has moved to a Paris suburb to raise their two children on her own. Every day she takes them to an elderly nanny before commuting to her stressful job in downtown Paris as a maid in a luxury hotel. When a strike paralyzes the public transportation system, commuting between home and work becomes much more difficult. And when Julie finally gets an interview for a job she’d long been hoping for, she has no choice but to set off on a frantic race against time that will push her to her very limits as both her professional and personal life hang in the balance.
