Plot

As France finds itself entranced by the allure of a 35-hour work week, Human Resources explores the intertwining narratives of economics, family dynamics and labor relations. Freshly minted from business school, Frank returns to his humble hometown, slipping into a managerial role at the factory that has been his father's lifeblood for three decades. In a well-intentioned yet naive move, Frank seeks the perspectives of the assembly line workers, only to witness his efforts being twisted by the upper echelons of management into a tool for employee layoffs. This manipulation sparks a chasm not only dividing the factory into labor and management, but also driving a wedge between father and son. Human Resources is a compelling tapestry of familial affection and personal sacrifice, masterfully woven against the backdrop of political ideologies. It is an exploration of morality within the human condition, cementing the notion that beneath politics and power plays, it is ultimately human relationships that bear the brunt.
