Tell me the story, please.
- Again? - Yes, yes.
It's the story of a princess...
Where is her kingdom?
You know, darling.
Tell me again.
Go to sleep, darling.
Go to sleep.
- You're not serious! - It's the end of the world!
Aren't you sick of talking crap?
Watch out for the kids. They're not kids!
Terrible!
- It's horrible, really. - That guy's crazy.
BRIGHT WOMEN
- You OK? - Yeah.
Don't touch it, it's hot.
I'm so hungry.
- Didn't you eat what I made you? - No, I was too tired.
Were you late home?
- Not really. - Did you go out?
We changed Maryse's tyre.
- Maryse's tyre? - Don't make fun of me.
- The four of us did it. - I learnt to make croissants.
- Woah, croissants! - Awesome.
My boss nearly made me miss the train.
- The bastard made us clean up. - Don't say that.
He's a jerk! He's always on about
his Paris mates.
Here, now scram.
What about my hair?
Adèle did it. Don't you like it?
It's funny, isn't it?
I should trim yours, too. Hasn't your boss said anything?
That's all I need.
- Will you hang out the laundry? - Yeah.
- See you. - See you.
You don't cook the couscous in tabbouleh.
The secret
is to soak it in oil.
And only then do I put the ingredients on top.
What do you mean, you don't cook it?
In tabbouleh, it's the lemon and tomato
that cook the couscous.
You don't cook the couscous in a tabbouleh.
- I cook it in water, it's faster. - It'll have no taste!
They don't care!
They'll eat anything when they're hungry.
- Right, Karine? - Yes.
- Nearly done? - Yeah.
I'll check the supplies and go.
Hey, Adèle!
- Let's go. - Yeah.
Oh!
Are you serious?
- Do that at home. - Maybe I don't have one.
Here.
- Don't you have any gloves? - In my pocket.
- What's up? - See? You can do it.
Hello, hello!
Hi.
Another Yellow-Vest operation
is taking place this morning in Martigues and Fos-sur-mer.
Hello... Oh, you're just an employee, so pick up the shit.
I'm telling you!
We need a different disinfectant. That one makes your skin smell.
She'll just say they can't afford it.
- Can we have some new gloves? - Gloves, yes.
- That would be good. - Everything OK?
- Great. You? - You think you're in a beauty salon?
Yes, we're doing our nails.
So... Perez. Kachaf.
Borgel.
All right, Maryse? Wouters.
- What is it? - Envelopes.
- We're not stupid. - Your new contracts.
- Sign and return them quick. - Why quick? I thought
the buyout wouldn't change anything. - Whatever.
- Get some sleep, girl! - She could've said goodbye!
It's unbelievable! What a bitch!
I forgot to put my shoes away.
- Mind you, I've seen worse. - OK.
I have 25 sandwiches and 3 thermos flasks to make for the protesters.
Djamila, do you still want children's clothes?
- Why not sell them online? - I'd rather give them to you.
I guess I'll have to read these contracts first.
You wanted to be our staff rep.
- Thanks, girls! - Wait, I'm stuck!
Ziggy!
Stop it!
Look, an oyster!
Happy birthday!
Got any tissues, Mum?
What's this?
My new contract.
- It's called an amendment. - I just have to sign it.
Not without reading it first.
What does it say?
Wait.
"You agree to work on other sites."
That's a huge area. They have offices everywhere.
- That's good, then. - Good?
Are you gonna travel 50km on a scooter to go to work?
- Why not? - Because it's dangerous.
I can get a lift with Maryse.
Ridiculous!
We've always got by.
They're bastards, seriously.
You're a pain.
It's a nice day, we're walking, what's wrong?
Nothing, just the post, my homework, that's all.
- Can I have my bag? - No.
I'm going. We'll look at the amendment later.
- OK. - Did you take your laundry?
I've left everything on the table.
- See you Saturday. - Wait!
- I'm late, bye! - Wait!
AMENDMENT
Are you OK?
Are you hurt?
Didn't you see the roadworks?
No.
Do you need the hospital?
I don't think so, but I have to get to work.
Me too.
Write your name and address, read and sign it.
- I'd rather not. - What do you mean?
It's your work scooter, they'll pay.
- Just sign... - Don't touch me!
- Just sign the form! - Get back!
I'm calling your employer.
- What happened? - I slipped.
You OK?
- Are you from NPS? - Yes, hello.
I told him not to call you.
She won't give me her details.
He's lying. He wants to blame me.
- She's crazy to leave like that! - Fuck you!
Stop it. Where's your accident report?
Here.
Come on!
Thanks.
You've filled in your part.
Go ahead.
OK, I'll do it. So...
What's your address?
Paradis Saint-Roch.
That's not an address. Wake up, I haven't got all day.
Here it is.
OK...
Paradis Saint-Roch...
Martigues. There.
Sign it.
There. Go ahead.
No, here.
OK.
So... Wait for me in the car.
Sorry, I forgot to put the insurer's name.
I'll need you to fetch the scooter, and quick.
I don't want cops involved.
Yes.
- Can your son help you? - Yes.
- Is this it? - Yes, right here.
- I'll pay for the repairs. - We'll talk about that later.
- Thanks. - And don't worry.
This will stay between us.
There you are.
We were worried, where were you?
- I fell. - I know, the boss told us.
You can tell me all about it.
I didn't want to wake Momo by ringing.
Don't worry, we're babysitting.
Come on.
Come in.
- All right, Karine? - Yes.
- And you? - I haven't slept much, but I'm OK.
- Were you warm enough? - No, we were freezing.
So,
you hit the jackpot.
Have you seen what the new owner wants?
They're reducing your hours, too.
I told Maryse, if one agrees to it...
We have no choice.
- Take it or leave it. - No-one has any choice.
You think the guys protesting all night with me have a choice?
It's always the same ones who suffer.
- Something has to change. - Yes, but not now.
She fell off her scooter.
- Are you OK? - Yes, don't worry.
- Are you sure? - Yes, yes.
- What happened? - I don't know.
I slipped. I didn't see the roadworks.
I couldn't even pick up the scooter, I have to go back.
- He'll go, won't you? - Yes.
- Are those the keys? - Yes.
- OK. Where is it? - On the Lavera road,
near the roadworks.
- OK. - Thanks.
Don't worry.
He's always fighting for something. Picket lines, protests...
He's so kind.
- Right, show me. - I said I'm OK.
You always say that, but it hurts when you fall off.
Wow!
- You'll need time off work. - No, I won't.
- I hope the scooter isn't damaged. - Don't worry.
- One of Momo's friends will fix it. - Really?
Let me see...
I've got it.
Don't worry.
I've never had a pizza compress before!
There.
Don't tell Ziggy, I don't want him to worry.
OK. I'll drive you tonight.
Promise?
I know you. You're stubborn.
- What would I do without you? - I know.
Look.
Talk of the devil...
OK.
I got no reply.
- Hello. - Hello.
The best thing is to call them. I'll tell Hélène you e-mailed them.
- Hi. - Oh!
Did you hurt yourself? You scared us!
I scared myself too.
- Karine, look at this. - What is it?
She's sending us to the pigs.
- Are you laughing at me? - Calm down.
What's all this about pigs?
- Where? - There, Perez-Wouters, that's us.
- You really need glasses. - Given what happened,
they should re-schedule.
She knows we don't want to go, but she won't tell the new boss.
Do you think she'd speak up and defend us?
Yeah, right!
I'll tell him if you want.
She spies on us naked.
- Stop it! - It's true.
You're gonna say that?
Wait and see.
Good evening, ladies.
So,
this is our night crew.
Over there is Maryse.
She's been here forever.
Then there's Djamila.
- How long have you been here? - 5 years.
Karine, who takes care of supplies.
She's been here a while, too.
And this is Adèle, our new girl, an ex-waitress.
Pleased to meet you.
Glad to see you all here, despite the blockades.
I hope it's not too hard for you.
We could have done without it.
I won't keep you from your work any longer.
- Welcome to Ninette Pro Services. - Thank you.
Karine, wait for me here.
"Welcome"? Is he serious?
He's the new arrival, not us.
- Will you be OK, Karine? - It's probably about the scooter.
- Tell her it's fixed. - If she makes trouble, call us.
OK?
Let's go.
Are you still here?
- We need to talk. - I've fixed the scooter.
I don't understand.
How do you handle the supplies? Do the others help you?
No, I do it myself.
You do the supplies list yourself?
Yes.
Karine, can you read,
or not? - Yes, I can.
OK, what does that say?
It's a notice.
Yes, but saying what?
This, for example.
What does that say?
I don't have any glasses.
They're too expensive.
How is that possible? Didn't you go to school?
Yes, I did.
- You can ask Djamila. - So Djamila knows?
Does everyone know?
It's my business.
Come to think of it, you trained Adèle, didn't you?
I can't believe this.
Do you know you're handling dangerous products?
I can't pretend I don't know,
especially for the supplies.
Jesus!
- What if there's an accident? - There won't be.
You'd better go.
We'll talk again, Karine.
What did she want?
Nothing.
Just to add some products to the list.
- Here. - Thanks.
Bye.
Evening.
She's cute!
- Where are you going? - Shut your mouth, horse face!
Can I have your number?
Come back!
- Going to work? - Work on this!
WASH YOUR HANDS
Oh, no.
It stinks of shit, I can't bear it.
They do this every time.
It's completely stupid.
- What are you doing? - Wait.
Shit!
It's Shitland.
Oh, shit!
There you go!
Go ahead. Oh, my God!
Shall we take a break?
If I don't do it all now, I'll throw up.
That's it, scrub hard!
Mind your backs!
- It's disgusting. - It is.
- Can you have Lili on Monday? - Yes.
- It'll do her good to go out. - I know.
Thanks.
One day we'll have our own bathroom.
With toilets made of gold.
And perfume that costs a fortune.
And you move your hips like this!
Come over here!
Maryse can't dance!
Maryse!
You've had long enough!
You should have woken me.
There's no rush.
You just need to sign the electricity bill.
There's nothing to write on these.
Just sign them.
- OK? - OK.
- Have you done the supplies list? - Not yet.
- Did you take out cash? - What?
- Why did you withdraw 80 euros? - I don't know.
Oh, I remember.
For repairs to the scooter.
Since when do you pay for that?
It was an emergency.
Open up!
- What? - What are you doing?
I have to sign the amendment.
We'll do that later.
Do the list, please.
48.55, please.
- Card or cash? - Card.
Go ahead.
Hey there!
Hi, Bruno.
- All right, Momo? - Yes.
This is Karine.
- Hi. - Karine, Bruno.
- My hands are dirty. - Never mind.
Wow! Where did you get that?
From an old guy.
Damn!
You must've spent a few hours on it.
A few, yes.
Will you go fishing on it?
No, I'm gonna sell it. I'm working on the engine.
- I fixed your scooter. - So I see.
It was just a bit dented.
I just had to change one part, that's all.
- Thanks. - Do people buy these?
Nothing sells any more.
Here. Momo said it was enough, but let me know.
Don't worry about him.
He doesn't care about money. He's above that.
- Right? - If you say so.
These Provençal boats are great. I like the cord around the edge.
It's not Provençal. It's Breton.
- This is Breton? - I thought you were a local.
- It starts right up. - Good as new.
- He's a genius. - Incredible.
It's totally fixed.
Woah!
You're smiling again.
You'd never know it happened.
- It hardly cost anything. - Did you pay in kind?
- She could have. - Hello.
- Did you bring your contracts?
We're still thinking about it.
OK, but think faster. And stop taking me for an idiot.
- We're not. - The boss needs to know
who he can count on.
Yes, we know that.
- We know that. - We haven't had time to read them.
Karine,
have you done that fucking list?
This isn't a holiday camp!
- She's cracking up! - Adèle!
- What? - Don't talk to me like that.
Is she nuts?
- Who's rattled her cage? - It's because of me.
- No! - Why do you say that?
You fixed the scooter, what more does she want?
I'd like to give her and her boss what for.
Roll on the elections.
We can tell them what we think of their contract.
- Have you read it? - Yes.
Haven't you?
Open the door.
Karine?
Solidarity!
Come and join us!
Solidarity!
Everyone together!
You OK?
Yeah.
I'm just a bit tired.
I thought about what you said.
What did I say?
Will you make me croissants?
Of course I will.
- Sure you're OK, Mum? - Yes, I'm fine.
The Yellow Vests are still active in Martigues...
What's a shortage?
I don't know.
Yellow Vests started to block or at least restrict traffic...
Did your mum say where she was going?
Let's go, OK?
Yes.
You can come with me.
We'll ride on the scooter, OK?
Yes.
We'll go to work and you can sit in the corner.
So?
She'll go to sleep.
You should have left her at the home.
- She has to learn. - We often did it with Ziggy.
- Remember? - They'll sleep anywhere at that age.
It's only two hours.
- He's home. - I saw it on TV.
- It was pretty rough. - He says it went well.
I can never relax.
- Is Perez not here? - No.
Her daughter's sick.
I forgot to tell you.
- Sick? - Yes.
What the...
Come here, darling.
No, you don't.
Wait!
- Please, she's a single mother. - I'm taking her home.
Don't do that.
The care home won't like it.
I know what it's like.
Let us keep her, please! Just this once.
Tell her mother not to come back, the boss won't take her.
Don't do that.
It's hard at first.
- She finds it disgusting. - Disgusting? That's a good one!
Unbelievable.
No-one's normal here.
How did you manage?
And with a handicap, too!
Off you go, darling.
I'll be right there.
Come back.
What is it with you four? I still don't have those contracts.
Are you waiting for the staff elections
to show your hand?
Are you going to elect Djamila?
- I don't know. - Think she'll improve things?
I doubt it.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
It won't change anything. Nothing at all.
Why don't you stand?
- Me? - Well, yes.
At least I can trust you.
That's Djamila's job.
- I can't do that to her. - Yes, you can.
Otherwise I'll tell everyone you're a liar, and Adèle leaves.
You want Adèle to leave?
Can I count on you?
- Yes. - Thank you.
It's about time!
Where the hell were you?
Oh, Mum! You recognise me at last.
Don't be clever. Next time, you can keep your daughter.
- I left her with my friend, not you. - Really?
You should thank your friend. She nearly ended up with the cops!
- You could've told us! - I did!
- Maryse... - You could say thanks!
- Thanks! - Very good!
- About time! - Stop shouting at me.
She's so nasty.
Jesus!
Quiet, the baby's sleeping.
My baby...
That's right. I love my baby.
All right, my baby? Are you asleep?
- I'm fired, is that it? - No, that's not it.
- Leave me alone. - Come here.
- I don't want to. - Stop it!
I won't.
Do you want to cuddle her?
Your daughter?
- Do you want to sleep with her? - I need to clean my teeth.
I'll make you up a bed.
I don't understand you.
You want people to respect you, but you cosy up to the boss?
Be quiet.
Do you realise what it means, being a staff representative?
There's loads of paperwork.
What if you have to read stuff?
You'll look stupid.
I'm going to bed.
Don't take up all the room.
Anyway,
she said it wouldn't do any good being a staff representative.
She's really put one over on you.
She would say that, wouldn't she?
- Why shouldn't Karine be the one? - Do we have a choice?
When it's your turn, you'll do a better job.
They always make sure it's a nice, docile, white French girl.
- It's because you wind them up! - Enough!
Let's not argue amongst ourselves, for Christ's sake!
It's so that Adèle can stay.
Well, I really want to piss them off.
I'm sick of other people getting stuff.
And what do they get?
They're unemployed sooner, that's all.
Jesus!
Are we meeting on Sunday?
I dream of doing nothing on Sundays.
But it's free entry for kids at the pool.
- You went, didn't you? - Yeah.
- Karine's as mute as a swan. - Oh, come on!
Stop it! Shut your mouth!
She's right, Djamila, that's not funny.
The bus is here.
What's it got to do with the pool?
It would do you good to cool down a bit.
- Bitch! - Slut!
He's cute!
- Sorry? - What did you say about the diner?
It pays 90 euros, lunch included, plus tips, so they said.
I can't work days with my grandkids.
Momo can do it, he's unemployed.
No!
I can't ask him to do that.
They'll never take me with this.
You don't know that.
You don't know that! Karine?
Why hasn't Ziggy called me?
I don't know, darling.
- Ladies. - Hello.
- I think you've scored. - Where?
Over there.
Ziggy's not your only friend.
Oh, come on! I was lightening the atmosphere!
- This one's called Issues . - Oh, I like this one!
Come on!
Look at Maryse!
We got 9!
Yes!
Congratulations. I knew it!
I hear you've had a promotion, my girl?
No, I'm an employee representative.
Enough of your modesty! Tell us more!
- Are you pleased? - Yes, well...
- Did you get a present? - No.
Shame.
Please, sit down.
You know,
normally when you win something, you get a reward.
A prize.
- A present. - Some money?
So here it is!
There you go. She deserved that.
Clean over there, there's shit everywhere.
Wait, boss...
Stop it, please! Security!
- This is the last one. Is here OK? - Yes, thanks.
I ordered the old disinfectant, it's better.
I haven't put it on the list,
but we need some thicker gloves.
Our hands are getting damaged.
We'll see how much they are.
Will you remember the meeting with the boss?
Of course.
Shall we prepare your questions together?
- Questions? - Yes.
We write down any questions and send them to the boss.
- I'll ask the others. - As you wish.
But I need to approve them.
- We'll see. - No, we won't see at all.
It says gloves. You said you hadn't put them on.
That's odd, look.
It's written there.
Sorry.
Sorry about what?
I forgot I'd written it down.
Hi.
Hi!
What's going on?
Nothing. They came to warm up.
Is your scooter OK?
Oh, the scooter's fine!
I'm launching my boat Saturday. Want to come?
Yes. Why not?
What time are you free?
Midday, I think.
Cool.
See you on Saturday, then.
There you are!
- I got sweets for Lili. - Really?
Can I have some?
At least it hasn't sunk.
Thanks for showing me.
- We're not done yet. - We're not?
No, we're going to get in. Are those your only shoes?
There you go.
- Choppy, isn't it? - No, it's like a mill pond.
- It's my first time on a boat. - I should have brought champagne.
Over there!
- Let's go. - Keep it straight!
"Helps... prevent...
"...caries."
Karine.
I'm gonna try to do the list myself.
I've already done it, it's on the table.
You can't change handwriting now. It's easier to stay as we are.
When will it change?
I'll help you before the meetings.
And if one day you can't?
I'll never let you down, OK?
Go, go, go, go!
Again! Come on!
It's all in your head.
Go!
Wow!
- Wow! - What?
That's classy!
You should wear that more often. You're stunning.
Not for cleaning toilets, though.
- You look great, though. - Hey!
- Isn't it a bit slutty? - No!
- No. - You see? I look ridiculous.
Not at all. It's perfect for meeting the boss.
- Make us some tea. - OK.
Right.
Shall we start?
Give me that.
- I can do it. - I'll take care of it.
- Where's our staff rep? - Mum!
I'm just waiting for the water to boil.
Let me do that.
Go on.
Right.
Anything seem odd to you?
- Is everything normal? - No.
I think the same as you, you know that.
You have to wake up, girls.
Are you scared of the chief?
To her, we're just a bunch of cleaning ladies.
- Right. - Do we agree
that these terms are unacceptable? Otherwise we're screwed.
For sure.
Nothing will change.
You're asking too much.
- How can you say that? - There's no money.
It's pointless.
We're not even unionised.
You'll be retiring soon, anyway.
- Retiring? - Yes.
Not for a while yet, my lovely.
Sadly.
If only I could...
In 20 years, you'll see. Your arms seize up.
Your legs too.
Your back, your hands are ruined.
I...
I'm tired, I've had enough!
I'm sorry, Maryse.
You're the best there is.
- Sorry. - It's OK, Maryse.
I'm OK.
So?
What's certain is that we can't travel 50km to work.
OK, thanks. So,
we're agreed?
How do we get home at 6am?
You have your scooter, but...
I can't travel that far by scooter, anyway.
We could all ride on it.
Shut up,
they'll suggest it. - Karine,
tell them we won't sign unless they agree to our demands.
- I tell them that? - Yes.
That we won't sign?
- Or we beat them up. - Not in those words.
Because we're women?
How else can we say it?
Tell them we're sorry?
I don't know, but it's Mum who has to say it.
It's fine.
Karine will do a great job, as always.
Go ahead, I'll help you.
I'll clean this up,
you read it
and we'll send it, OK?
You're all obsessed with cleanliness.
I can't stand it.
All the time.
Djami?
- What? - Thank you.
- Are we done? - Yes.
Go.
You'll be late.
I'll go through it with you over the phone.
That was great.
- Call me? - I will.
Oh, right.
- Are you the rep? - Yes.
- Where are you from? - Martigues, night shift.
Oh, yes, with the scooter.
Did you bring the signed contracts?
We have a lot of questions on various subjects.
Questions? You should have sent them before.
Don't you know that?
That's what we did.
By e-mail.
It's a big change for us.
- We need to talk about it. - Hélène, why didn't you tell me?
Never mind,
we can talk next time.
Let your supervisor have them by the end of the month, OK?
That's what...
That's what we wanted to talk about.
About several...
Several locations.
For example...
For example, there's too much travelling.
It depends, but some places are far away.
It's very difficult for us.
- For... - Karine,
I know you're in difficulty. I spoke to your boss.
How many hours do you need?
Three? Four? Ten?
We can find you that in town. We'll help you,
don't worry.
Arles, for example.
- Arles is too... - Karine!
I don't want to talk about it.
I said we'd talk about it next time. Is that clear?
Now sign the docket...
...and we'll say you had no questions.
It happens.
But I do have questions.
Hélène, see if there's a training scheme so we can help her out.
For illiterates.
There must be some.
You can reassure your colleagues.
I'm used to reviving failing businesses.
It's always hard at first.
Good luck.
Would you like a glass of water?
Shit! Shit!
Hi!
Well?
All done.
- That's great. Are you relieved? - Yes.
Go and play, darling.
What did he say?
Nothing very...
- He listened. - You see? He listened.
- When will he answer? - He didn't say,
but soon.
Well then,
we'll just have to wait.
He knows we won't be brushed aside.
They've got the message.
Hey!
Don't jostle each other! Want me to help?
Want to talk?
It's Ziggy.
Yes, darling?
Yes.
I know. It went very well, don't worry.
It was really good. I'll tell you more later.
Is the fireman having fun?
Bye, darling.
One, two, three!
I'm frozen. Got any coffee?
- Can you freeze them? - What?
The fish.
No.
No?
You can share them with the others.
Your mates. Otherwise they'll go off.
Do you know how to prepare them?
It's a shame you didn't come this morning.
I waited for you.
We said today, didn't we? You wanted to go fishing.
You can't rely on me. Didn't Momo tell you?
No.
He didn't tell me that at all.
Got a sharp knife?
I'm scaring you.
- I'll go. - No, don't worry.
I'm not scared.
- Any good? - Perfect.
What's your son's name?
Ziggy. Z-I-G-G-Y.
Yes, I guessed that. Ziggy.
How old?
Seventeen.
I raised him on my own.
Yes, that's what I heard.
No.
You didn't.
No-one knows.
I hated him at birth.
His father too.
A nurse asked if they could give him a blood test.
I said: "Yes, take him." Know what I did?
You don't have to tell me.
I put all my things in a bag.
I wanted to leave without him.
I wanted nothing to do with his kid.
Then I thought the needle would hurt him.
And my milk started flowing.
I ran to join him.
I became his mother.
Do you want me to show you?
- I'll show you. - No.
Next time, don't send me texts.
Call me, OK?
OK.
You should wash your hands.
Do I smell bad? Sorry.
Yes.
It's not very glamorous.
- All right? - Yeah.
- What did you think of the catch? - Not bad.
I prefer them when they're still wriggling.
- She's not selfish. - I wasn't going to throw it away.
If I had a guy, I'd give up work.
Stop it, sometimes it's worse.
When you're married with kids, you're everyone's maid.
I believe in love.
What's this?
Give it back.
- Now! - What's this?
Stop it!
- That's for Lili's homework! - Wait a minute.
"Detergent... Sponges..."
- That's what it says! - Give it to me!
- Amendments for my daughter? - Stop it!
- Give it to me! - "Hygiene!"
"Hygiene" written ten times over! She's a psychopath!
And she looks after my daughter!
Adèle would've written: "Sex, sex, sex"!
Fuck you!
- Give it to me now! - Have you gone mad or what?
Hand it over.
Hand it over!
Here.
We were just kidding around.
Sorry.
Shit!
- There's an orange or a red. - Thanks.
What you're doing is good.
Great!
L and O spells Lo, L and A spells La.
Lola likes Lili a lot.
Let me sit down, darling.
Thank you, my love.
Can you lend me a pen?
Thanks.
What does this say?
"Read... and... approved."
Ziggy won't like you touching his papers.
I'm going, girls.
- See you soon, OK? - OK.
- Hello little monkeys, you OK? - Yes.
- All right? - Yeah.
Can you take them to Momo's?
Doing school work?
Wow, you're pretty smart!
- You're the only one who's signed. - Too bad.
You're no use on your own.
Here, take it back.
I've been looking everywhere.
I forgot, what with everything. Bruno gave me this for you.
Tell him I don't want it.
Give it back. The money too.
OK.
Everyone's talking about the clip I uploaded.
Not too many views, though. 700.
It's only the start, guys! You can all show it to your families.
Your families will love it.
Your family will see it.
What time is it?
The boss asked me to work overtime.
And to screw the others too?
- Well done. - Don't talk to me like that.
We need the money.
Really?
- You can't even count. - I know we do.
Not like that!
You should be defending the others, not working overtime!
Maryse said it's hopeless!
- At least fight! - Stop it!
I am fighting! What do you think I'm doing?
That's all I do!
Every day! All the time! Alone!
You're not alone!
- You didn't see the boss, did you? - I did as they asked!
I'm asking what you think!
- I think like the others. - You're not like other mothers.
You know what? I was proud. I wanted to surprise you.
I thought we'd celebrate.
But you've ruined everything.
Like you always have!
Sorry.
I'd like to make a withdrawal.
Adèle, stop it, it's annoying.
But...
Look!
Madeleines!
- I didn't do anything! - Well done.
It's my lucky day!
What did Momo say?
- They're talking about a strike. - Shit!
- What girls? - In Avignon.
They came to see him on the protest.
I told you.
A strike! Do we have a Plan B?
- Why are they changing the rules? - You know why.
We're costing them too much.
They put us in impossible situations to make us leave,
then they hire girls
who'll accept their shitty contracts, or illegals.
They're right to strike.
- Stop that! - I thought I'd try my luck again.
What do you think, Karine?
Why don't we sign?
- What? - We could sign.
She's not wrong.
- See how it goes. - It's hard enough now.
You want to accept worse?
- It's now or never. - I have to talk to the chief.
Stop kissing up to her!
She's scared of losing her job too. She lives on a campsite.
My husband saw her.
I think she's sleeping with the boss.
How do you know that? The dirty bitch!
She can screw whoever she likes.
I don't want to risk my job, that's all.
That's how they get us, Maryse.
We're terrified of an empty fridge.
But if we refuse,
all of us, the bosses are in deep shit.
We can't give in!
It's about our pride! We're not signing.
We've suffered long enough.
I won't sign either.
What, then?
We strike, that's all we can do.
We all have to do it, otherwise it's useless.
What do you say?
You all want to strike?
What?
- What is it? - You know him?
- The fish guy. - Not bad!
He's cute.
Nice butt, too. Lucky you!
What are you doing?
- Nothing. - I don't want him to see me.
Lighten up!
Come over!
Calm down, it's OK.
- Hi. - Hello.
- It's my round. - Thank you.
- Can I sit down? - Sure.
I hear you're handy.
Fishing, repairs... I'm interested.
I... I think I was clumsy.
Thanks for the beer.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
I couldn't. It wasn't convenient.
I was worried about you.
Were you?
Why?
Think I can't manage on my own?
That I need...
...your money, your lessons on life.
That wasn't the idea.
I'm sorry.
Am I forgiven?
There's plenty of girls.
Nicer,
better.
It's you I want.
It was good, wasn't it?
Whether it was or not,
I've got enough problems as it is.
You're not a problem.
Not for me, anyway.
What's wrong?
Doesn't your son like fish?
I'll take you somewhere else.
Where will you take me?
Wherever you like.
You think I can just leave?
What's stopping you?
You've no idea.
Maybe.
Hi, Momo. Is Maryse in? I left my scooter...
Maryse had an accident.
What?
Last night,
coming to get me.
- How did it happen? - We don't know.
Maybe she fell asleep, who knows?
She's all smashed up.
No!
- Can I see her? - No, only her family's allowed.
Of course.
- Can you watch the kids tonight? - Of course.
It was bound to happen.
Thanks.
NIL
This is the 100th day of our campaign.
- And you want to mark it? - Yes, to show we're still here.
I'm going.
We're more determined than ever.
We must support all those who are still outside today.
We're out there every day.
- Hi. - You can get on the bus.
- See you on there? - Yes.
What are we meant to do, then?
Go out and sing The Internationale ?
- It might do us good. - No, forget it.
Try opening your big mouth!
I tried to re-work the schedule.
You bosses really are bastards.
- What was that? I didn't hear. - That's enough!
Stop.
We can't go on like this.
As if nothing happened.
You don't care about us!
Maryse nearly died
thanks to you! - I do care.
It's me they call when these things happen, not him.
He can't keep mistreating us,
ignoring our representative.
What are we, shit?
It's shocking!
Ask Karine, you can't get anything out of that guy!
He should have answered our questions.
You should have asked them.
Were you at the meeting? I don't think so.
We won't be pushed aside.
The truth is that you're scared of the boss,
scared of losing your shitty job.
No, I'm not scared.
You want the truth?
The truth is that...
...Karine can't do anything for you.
It's unfortunate, but true.
What do you mean? Why can't she do anything for us?
Because she's not like you.
Haven't you noticed that?
I thought you were friends.
- That's disgusting. - What do you mean, not like us?
Karine!
Where are you going?
You can't leave now.
She's right, I'm useless.
No, you're not.
I'd have been intimidated by the boss too.
- I signed. - What?
I signed.
- Are you kidding? - I signed the contract.
- You can't be serious! - I wanted this job
so much, to get out of my shitty life!
I've no choice! I don't know how to do anything else.
- Do you understand? - You let us down.
I never thought you'd do it.
Not you.
I had no choice.
Hey, have you quite finished?
Where are you going?
Karine!
Hey!
Fuck off to your shitty jobs,
all of you!
What's up with you all tonight?
- Do you all have your period? - Shut your fucking mouth and drive!
What's up?
She signed.
Shit!
Karine!
Look at this.
Bruno?
What's up?
Are you crying?
No.
No, I'm not crying.
Do you want to come over?
It's me.
- Not at work? - No.
You OK?
Yes. What's up?
The supermarket's hiring warehousemen.
I start on Monday.
Surprised?
Now you can quit your job.
You won't have to work for that bastard any more.
I don't want you to.
- Aren't you pleased? - What about your apprenticeship?
- I've left, Mum, it's over. - No, no, no.
You're going back. I'm calling your boss.
He'll take you back.
You need me.
No.
You don't?
No. I want to be alone.
You don't mean that.
- Go back there now. - Forget it.
- Do as I say! - I'm protecting you!
No!
You're suffocating me!
Always on my case. You're like your father.
He was the same: he dictated to me,
answered on my behalf.
Before that, school, the home. I've never been able to breathe!
I'm suffocating!
I'm suffocating.
What happened with the boss?
Never mind that.
Come on!
That's enough. You're a grown-up now.
Enough. That's enough!
We make a good team.
What are you doing?
Get out!
Go on!
- I'm not leaving. - Get out!
Why are you in the dark?
Coming?
Ladies.
Mr Le Tac and I will speak to you individually.
Don't worry.
We'll start gradually.
The permanent teams will be decided at the end of the month.
We've mapped out areas of 50km, just so it's clear to you.
Any questions?
What if there's no transport? Especially right now.
As I said,
each case will be looked at by Mr Le Tac.
If it's too hard for you, you can say no.
I have something to say.
Sorry.
- What's your name? - She's the rep.
OK.
- Should I see her? - Yes.
I'll see you.
- It's too late. - You can't say that.
It's ridiculous.
I've worked here a long time.
I like it. It's hard, but...
I like us being all together.
It smells nice when we've cleaned. It's stupid, but...
I like it to smell nice.
I like my work.
Being with other women at night.
I can't listen to this.
Hold on.
There's an H&S committee meeting... When is it?
- On the 14th. - Of course,
I know how the products smell, what's needed.
I know what's missing.
Just as well, because...
I...
I find it hard to read.
And to write, too.
I went to school, but... it was hard.
I didn't dare ask for help.
I'm not proud of it.
It's nothing to be proud of.
I haven't read the amendment,
or anything else for years.
I didn't even try.
I signed, and I regret it.
I regret doing that.
And now it's too late.
For Maryse, too.
You did the right thing, Karine.
- We need people like you. - Don't call me Karine.
My name is Wouters.
And you can cross me off your list.
You don't deserve us.
You know what this means?
You're resigning.
That's stupid.
Listen,
we can talk about this later.
Not here and now. I think that
your emotions are getting the better of you.
I'm sorry.
Where are you going?
Mr Le Tac, get them back.
Those who want to stay over here...
If you go, I go too.
Same here.
What have I done?
What we should have done long ago. Slam the door.
I didn't want it to be like this.
Where will you go?
Know what we'll do?
We'll work at that roadside diner.
- If not there, somewhere else. - Yes.
We're worth our weight in gold!
And this time, the bosses had better be straight,
or else!
Give me that.
Keep your shitty scooter.
- Can you make a campfire? - Why?
I think we'll need one this winter.
- Thanks, Karine. - Thank you, darling.
I'm so proud of you.
That's right, don't come back!
Look at them!
Anyone got a light?
Hey, this is what we think of your contract!
There you go!
Ziggy!
Mum.
I know you hate letters.
But you'll read this one because it's the first one I've written you.
Take your time.
It's OK.
We have time.
I wanted you to know
that I love you as much as you love me.
