Once there, he discovers that his boss has duped him, he will indeed be paid double but in rupees. Furious, he decides to take revenge by teaching the teams the best of French social rights: strikes, demonstrations and RTT with the sole aim of overthrowing his boss.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Directors Ali and Redouane Bougheraba are brothers who previously collaborated on short films; this marks their feature debut together.
The film satirizes France's 35-hour work week (RTT) and militant union culture—exporting these to India's IT factory boom towns creates deliberate anachronism.
