Full reviewA brilliant female engineer has an opportunity to head a major company in this political thriller. It’s a challenge made brutally difficult in a world dominated by men.
“Emmanuelle Blachey is a brilliant and determined engineer who has risen up through the ranks of her company — a major French energy firm — and now sits on the board of directors. When an influential women’s network approaches her to take the lead of one of the stock exchange’s top companies, things quickly change around Emmanuelle.

The ambitious woman must marshal her forces to overcome the hurdles of the milieu, including corporate sexism and personal demons in order to take part in the ruthless race for power.” (French Film Festival)
