Clémence Alpharo, who, in order to get a permanent contract in the company that has just hired her, must push Henri Giffard, a sales representative at the end of his career, towards early retirement. But Giffard refuses. His work is the only thing that still gives meaning to his life. Caught between the prospect of a professional future that would allow her to escape her family history and the unexpected affection she feels for the salesman, Clémence must choose. A choice that will inexorably push Clémence and Henri to the limit.

Like a primary school ruler, it's cute, efficient and knows exactly how long it should be. This charming movie between a young woman (Zita Hanrot is perfect in the role) who's trying to land a real job in a company and the wallpaper sales rep / sage who she thinks stands in her way follows the traditional story pattern while avoiding cliches along the way. Apart from the lead performances and simple (and not simplistic) style, it's 86-minute run time is my favorite thing about the film. There are worse ways to spend a Sunday morning.
