At Work

No LGBTQ+ characters appear or are identified. The narrative concentrates on Paul’s heterosexual family breakdown and his work life, leaving queer identities absent from both personal and professional spheres.

Paul, a man, drives the plot as he navigates poverty and writing. His ex-wife and mother appear in supporting roles, but the narrative centers on his personal struggle, limiting broader gender perspectives.

The cast is almost entirely white French actors. The plot mentions Paul meeting a “diverse range of people” through gig work, but no specific characters of color are named or detailed.

The film critiques the platform economy and wealth inequality. Paul’s financial ruin and the dehumanizing nature of gig work are central themes, framing capitalism as a source of anxiety and instability.

No characters with physical or mental disabilities are mentioned in the available plot details or cast list. The story’s focus on economic precarity does not extend to disability representation.
