A supermarket manager in Lille finds his life turned upside down when a routine safety inspection reveals a web of corruption. His quiet world of price tags and inventory collides with the high-stakes paranoia of internal affairs. This 2013 dark comedy thriller transforms the fluorescent-lit aisles of retail into a tense, absurdist playground where bureaucracy is the ultimate weapon. Isabelle Huppert and Sandrine Kiberlain deliver masterful performances in a film that is as much a satire of institutional power as it is a quirky, suspenseful character study.
