INDEPENDENT FILM FOR INDEPENDENT MINDS

Isabelle is the bright assistant to high-flying corporate executive Christine, who shows alarmingly little hesitation in passing off her junior’s ideas as her own. Despite Christine’s recurrent professional betrayal, Isabelle is nevertheless a conforming presence, presumably because of her affection for her ruthless schemer of a mentor. But as Christine threatens to expose the on-going financial chicanery of Philippe, the lover privately shared by both women, tensions begin to flare between them. When Isabelle is persuaded by a concerned co-worker to claim credit for her own work - instead of letting Christine take all the plaudits - a cycle of psychological abuse and public humiliation follows, involving all three of the film’s protagonists.
