Drama

Julie (Laure Calamy) lives away from her husband outside Paris with her two children. Every morning she has to travel into the city, where she works as a chambermaid in a luxury hotel. Every day is a race against time: while it is still dark, Julie takes the children to an elderly neighbor who acts as a childminder. She runs to the railway station, where she just manages to catch the train. Then the national strike begins: she has to change to a bus and it becomes impossible to get to work on time. She urgently needs her job because her ex-husband doesn't pay any maintenance. She has been trying for a long time to find a better-paid job near her home that would be commensurate with her training. When she finally gets a job interview, the problems start all over again. She can't stay away from work and has to persuade a colleague to cover for her.
