Our take

Freely inspired by Victor Hugo’s poem How Good Are The Poor, veteran French auteur Robert Guédiguian crafts an honest and moving drama that poses urgent questions about working class and blue-collar Europe. Starring his regulars (and always brilliant!) Jean-Pierre Darroussin and Ariane Ascaride.
