Se faire virer

Manon Delatre is a projectionist at an arthouse cinema. At first, she's passionate about her work. She gets involved, takes on responsibilities. But exhaustion and boredom eventually overlap with joy. She needs a change of scenery. Her management doesn't see it that way. She refuses to agree to a mutual termination agreement. Relationships become complicated. A dead end that then pushes her to do everything she can to get herself fired.

This is a powerful and precise account; it could be the story of your neighbor or your cousin. It's a personal, universal, and political story. The author draws us into her tragedy with simple, unfussy words and never lets us go... Will she manage to get herself fired? A curious suspense.

Manon Delatre has held many jobs throughout her life. Today, a graphic designer, videographer, and author, she can't stay still, but words and images are never far away. This is her first book.

Sophie de Montgolfier's sensitive interpretation of the text, accompanied by the fiery music of Jean-Louis Ruf Costanzo, transports us into a moving and engaging cinematic universe! A social western, an ode to solidarity and struggle.
