Since the cult success of Merci Patron!, activist/journalist/filmmaker François Ruffin has become an MP. Here, he attempts to table a law aimed at upholding the rights of what in Quebec are known as caregivers, and shows us in passing how a law whose need seems patently obvious is put together, debated, voted on and . . . dies on the battleground of French politics. A stirring documentary about social injustice that somehow manages to make us bust a gut laughing as we rage with indignation. And also cry at the beauty of it all, thanks to the director’s humanist sensibility and a deft play between reality and fiction.

Like a Marvel movie, except the superheroes are real. Women who take care of handicapped children in public school, who clean the toilets of the hospitals and the government's own buildings, who look after invalid elderly people confined to their homes and are paid hourly, often less than the minimum wage, with temporary contracts that allow no perks… these are the real superheroes. This film is the story of two men on opposite sides of the political aisle who fight for the rights of these women, and, unfortunately, it's not as uplifting as a superhero movie.
