When Edith is informed that the job she's held for her entire adult life is being relocated to Morocco, she refuses to accept a healthy severance package. Against the advice of her colleagues, her self-absorbed son, and even the consultant hired to fire her, Edith instead opts to follow her job to Tangier.

Gaël Morel’s intimate drama closely follows Sandrine Bonnaire’s changing expressions and body language as she adjusts to the nuances of new social and cultural realities.

Filmography: Notre Paradis (2011), Après lui (2007), Three Dancing Slaves (2004), Les chemins de l'oued (2002).
