A soon-to-be outsourced, minor security employee at a department store undergoes an enervating and undermining series of pointless retrainings, online job interviews, cutting critiques of his mock-interview performances, uncomfortable "retirement" parties for those whose time is already up--and all the while, his own date of termination grows ever nearer. Vincent Lindon gives a powerful performance as an archetype of our time, the obsolete, middle-aged worker, and as a man whose only sense of continuing self-worth comes from the time spent with his wife and disabled son--and whose every other moment of life seems one of incremental degradation.
