Plot
Christophe agrees to be filmed by his roommate Stéphane, while he is searching for a meaningful engineering job. Since he voluntarily resigned his job when he was to be moved to quality control, he does not get unemployment benefits, and goes to classes on how to contest the decision.
Sinekatalog’s take
A mock-documentary comedy about an unemployed engineer filmed by his roommate while he fights a bureaucratic decision. It is dry, clever and sharp about job anxiety, a likeable satire for viewers who enjoy deadpan formats.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
