Two Days, One Night


Two Days, One Night
This highly-decorated film is about a young mother, who has just returned to work after recovering from a serious bout with depression. Realizing that the company can operate with one fewer employee, management tells her she is to be let go. After learning that her co-workers will vote to decide her fate on Monday morning, she races against time over the course of the weekend, often with the help of her husband, to convince each of her fellow employees to sacrifice their much-needed bonuses so she can keep her job. With each encounter, she is brought into a different world with unexpected results. In French, Arabic and English, with English subtitles.
