Average Rating
No ratings yetSynopsis
Frank, a man of action who worked his way up all by himself, dedicates his life to work. No matter the place or the circumstances, be it day or night, he’s on the phone, handling the cargo ships he charters for major companies. But when he has to deal with a crisis situation, Frank makes a brutal decision and gets fired. Profoundly shaken, betrayed by a system to which he gave his all, he has to progressively question himself to save the one connection that still matters to him: the bond he’s managed to maintain with his youngest daughter, Mathilde.

AI Analysis
Those Who Work functions primarily as a character study of a man facing systemic betrayal. While the film offers a meaningful critique of institutional power and the erosion of the traditional work ethic, it remains a narrow narrative focused on a singular protagonist. The film's strength lies in its subversion of the 'man of action' archetype through emotional introspection. However, this focus comes at the expense of intersectional breadth, as the story lacks diverse casting and explicit identity-based representation.
