Overview

ComedyMusic

When Julie finally lands a job at a luxury shoemaker, her dreams of stability collapse as the owner threatens to close the factory. Together with an intrepid group of women, they decide to resist, bringing back to life a bold and elegant shoe model to save the renowned brand. But when Samy, a young truck driver as wily as charming, jumps in the middle of the fight, this is no longer the same song.

Trivia

Directors Testut and Calori are also musicians, which explains why the songs feel lived-in rather than pasted-on.

Cultural

The film quietly mirrors real French factory occupations, but swaps grim reality for sparkles and jazz hands—debate if that's empowerment or erasure.
