Filming took place in February 2016, mainly in the Rhône department in Lyon in the Brotteaux district (notably on the ground floor and staircases of the Lugdunum, the building that houses the DREAL), as well as in Chamonix in Haute-Savoie. [2]

Plot

Émilie Tesson-Hansen is a brilliant and cold personnel manager at Esen, an industrial food group. One of her team members has been repeatedly trying to meet with her. He finally accosts her in the street where she tells him that he is not wanted and should quit. Soon after, he kills himself by jumping off of the building. An investigation is opened by a labor inspector. Considered to be at fault in the eyes of the director of human resources and her superiors, Emilie decides to avoid prison and save her skin. She reveals to the investigator the pernicious harassment methods and workplace bullying practiced at Esen.
