Richelieu (2023) Movie Script
1
Ariane, be ready to do this quickly,
Otherwise, it will never end,
Okay,
Gentlemen,
When you get off the bus,
take a copy of the contract,
Is that understood?
THANKS,
Good evening,
THANKS,
Stphane, this is Ariane,
She will be the coordinator
of the Guatemalans,
Do you know each other?
She's dating my friend, Pat,
I learned about his trial, I'm really sorry,
How are you? Is he holding up?
I don't know, we are no longer together,
Sorry, I didn't know that, - How are you,
So, are you back?
I'm at my mother's house,
at the edge of the river,
Oh yes, Nicole, Did she recommend it?
She told me that Ariane
spoke Spanish and lived nearby,
Have you never worked in a factory?
No, but my mother does,
And I helped Pat with
the construction staff,
It'll be fine,
It's our first time too, with the Guats,
We will be there to train
you, you will learn quickly,
The bulk of the work,
this is the translation,
Any idiot who speaks
the language can do that,
Excuse me,
Is there a question?
He doesn't know how to read very well,
He asks what that amount is,
S-A-R?
What does he say?
He asks what S-A-R means,
Union dues,
Richelieu Foods Union,
These are union dues,
What is this?
But the contract says we don't
have the right to join the union,
And do you have to pay contributions?
They do not have the right to
join the union but must pay dues?
Yes I know, That's how it is,
That's how it is,
Yes, but with $300 rent, taxes...
And we pay for a service for nothing?
What does he say?
On the farm where I was
before, it was cheaper,
He doesn't want to pay the dues,
The contributions?
Union dues, since he is
not entitled to the service,
Robin will never accept,
What if we changed his contract?
No, you have to pay the contributions,
It's the law,
If he doesn't want to, no one forces him,
Others will take his place,
If it doesn't suit you, you can go home,
I'm sorry,
Do you agree with that?
We have no choice,
Mom, leave it,
It's not worth it, I'm leaving again soon,
Are you sure?
We're not going to live
in boxes all summer,
I'll put this away, You
won't see them anymore,
Did it go well?
It was,
You didn't tell me that Stphane
Cournoyer ran the factory,
Do you know him?
Yes, he was in Pat's gang,
I denounced him when he
bothered Martine's daughters,
That doesn't mean anything to me,
Is it serious?
No,
It's just weird to come back and see that
the school bullies are factory managers,
I'll do this tomorrow,
I'm tired,
Ariadne,
What?
Pat called from prison,
I told him what I thought about it,
I don't want to talk to him,
I know, let's see,
Hurry up, It's going to
come out of my mouth,
Everyone takes their turn!
He's been there for at least 15 minutes,
If you put pressure on
me, it's going to be difficult,
Oh yes? What are you going to do?
Piss on me?
It's going to be hot,
after so much waiting,
Ariadne,
I sympathize, you know that,
But you can't tell creditors,
"Sorry, I'm just a victim,
"At least, the apartment is in your name,
Have you thought about selling it?
No, I want to do debt consolidation,
The easiest thing would be to sell,
You could pay it all off at once,
Yes, but I don't want to,
You can sell for more,
make added value,
All he has left is this apartment,
Can we at least avoid losing it?
Ariane, we have known
each other for a long time,
I'll be honest,
Even when negotiating a great deal,
monthly payments will be heavy,
How are you going to pay?
She has a new job,
One that pays well,
What exactly is your new job?
Ariadne?
The problem with the huller,
This is because the corn leaves
and husk are blocking the drain,
The team must clean continuously,
there is no machine for that,
Otherwise, it overflows
and production stops,
I've never smelled anything worse,
And I went to the
bathroom after Guillermo,
Gentlemen,
Gentlemen,
There are two water outlets,
The corn husks must be removed,
When the wheelbarrows are full,
you will empty them over there,
- Is that understood?
- Yes,
He must be shovelling in the
water, with his wooden leg,
What did he say?
He was joking,
Go ahead, you with your wooden leg,"
Are you there to mess
around or to work?
I don't have time to waste,
He asks if you are here
to mess around or to work,
To work,
So let's get to work,
It's good,
Madam,
Can I talk to you?
Yes, sit down,
We need your help,
The supermarket where we
do our shopping is not nearby,
I wanted to see with you if you could sometimes
take us to the supermarket
during the week,
I don't know,
I don't drive, I can't take you,
Could anyone on the team do it?
The other time, it took us
two hours to get there on foot,
And we finish late,
We can't do this every day,
Yes, I understand,
I'll see what I can do, but I
don't know if Stphane will want to
rent transport because it's expensive,
But that's not your responsibility?
My responsibility is to
translate what you say,
I mean, as an intermediary
between us and the factory,
Knowing Stphane...
Who else am I talking to?
Okay, I'll see what I can do,
Manuel Morales? We
just received a shipment,
What?
It's overtime,
Ramirez? Overtime,
Faster, Manuel, the water is rising,
Don't you see that it's going to overflow?
You are too slow!
Take a shovel, do something!
Come on, everyone is waiting,
How are you?
Stphane, We need to
talk about frozen foods,
Nothing serious, just a little delay,
Let me go, I've been talking
to Ricard for three hours,
Are you not eating?
Later, I have to submit
these reports before 4 p.m.
Fucking rush,
Did you miss the village?
No, I missed the waterfront,
You saw your friends
again, Amlie and all that?
No, they weren't Pat's
friends anymore anyway,
Holy Pat, quite a number,
You knew, right?
Knew what?
Pat and his shenanigans,
you had to know,
No, why do you say that?
We all know what he is like,
You must have suspected that,
Don't get angry, we just talk,
I'm not angry, I just
have 24 reports to finish,
Are you okay, ma'am?
Yes, I was just hot,
What would Stphane say if he
caught you wandering around like that?
Are you here to mess around or to work?
Hello?
Rest assured, madam,
He's like that, Juan,
He catches the fly easily,
A real kid,
Fuck you, damn Mexican,
A real kid,
Is it that funny?
I don't see what's so funny,
Madam,
Could I speak to the boss?
Give birth, my day is over
and my son is waiting for me,
We're listening, what's the matter?
My father is dead,
His father has just died,
I should go back,
I would like to leave for five
days with your permission,
He asks to come home for
five days to go to the funeral,
First, offer him our condolences,
I'm sorry, all our condolences,
He can go there, but
he would lose his place,
I can't send a replacement for five days,
You can go back, but you
won't be able to come back,
I beg you,
I went into debt to come,
He needs this job, he
went into debt to come,
I'm sorry, I can't do more,
I'm sorry,
What if I only leave for two days,
I come back the day after the funeral,
What if he's only gone
for two days and he...
It's complicated with corn rushes,
There will never be a good time,
We can't, I don't want to set a precedent,
Stphane, his father has just died,
Can't we bring in a temporary
worker from Quebec?
No one will do it for $10 an hour,
I swear to you, It
doesn't make me happy,
If I say yes, I'll pay for it eventually,
Sorry, my kid is waiting for me,
I'm sorry,
Stphane is temperamental,
but he settles things quickly,
When the French bought the
factory, they wanted to close it,
- Oh yes?
- Stphane fought,
He got the idea from Latinos,
Thanks to him, we have work,
I didn't know it,
And then Ricard puts
so much pressure on him,
I don't think I would do better,
That's not what I'm saying, it's just...
He's tough,
If you want advice, you
should toughen up a little too,
Mexico, Guatemala,
it's not the same reality,
And you are a woman,
Can you ask it to
choose a four-digit PIN?
You must choose a four-digit code,
Type it on the keyboard,
Again,
Again,
It doesn't match, we have to start again,
You must have been
wrong, we have to start again,
What code should I enter then?
The one you want,
Again,
No, wait,
You must enter the same code,
An easy to remember code,
But what is it for? I don't understand,
For your money,
Trust me,
Come on,
Again,
Perfect, thank you,
You allow,
THANKS,
No, gentlemen, I just
bring the schedules,
Hide the beer!
You can continue, let's see!
The floods slowed us
down, but it will get better,
I'll be honest with you,
We are not impressed by
the results of the last quarter,
I don't know what to tell you,
We trusted you,
You wanted foreign labour, you got it,
What the hell are they doing?
At 3% increase, we are
far from the objectives,
Don't worry, Mr, Ricard,
I have confidence,
What is this story about
corn that rotted in the sun?
I've never seen that!
We have 23 factories,
that never happens!
What's the problem? Incompetence?
We do our best,
It's simple, This is the final warning,
Or you reach 8% or I will
send someone in your place,
It's clear?
Is it clear?
It's understood, We will
take the necessary measures,
GOOD, We'll talk again next week,
Thank you, sir,
He is in a good mood,
I could see him working nights,
He's in good shape,
It's just his style,
Always so friendly,
I can't blame him,
No matter what you do,
it will never be enough,
Can we have candy
too? It would do us good,
Okay, guys, I think that's enough,
Excuse me,
Excuse me,
We stopped production 13 times
this month because it was clogged,
Can you see this with your guys?
You have to push them a little,
However, they return at night,
They work overtime every day,
It's my head that's on the block,
You have to push them, otherwise I'll
have to replace them, you understand?
Stphane, we are waiting for you,
I'm coming,
You've been doing a
great job for a month,
I need you,
Do the right thing, okay?
Well, gentlemen,
Things will change from now
on, we will work alternately,
In the morning, you
will have your usual shift,
And in the afternoon, you
will exchange positions,
For training on the optical
sorter, Manuel and Alfonso?
Come with me,
Yes?
Do we really have to, Madam?
Yes, it is necessary,
It's difficult, but we all
have to make an effort,
Can't you ask for volunteers?
Do you know many people
who want to do this job?
What are you doing? Are
you changing positions?
I make them do rotations,
Couldn't you tell me about it?
You told me, Do the right thing,
I said to talk to them,
not change their position,
I didn't want to bother you,
I know the training, Don't worry,
On the contrary! In case of
a problem, I am responsible,
There's no point in
having them shovelled 24/7,
I know what it is, I shovelled some corn,
It can't go any faster,
the guys are exhausted,
So what? A call to the
agency and we'll replace them,
Let's see, Stphane,
It's exhausting to shovel
50 hours per week,
It's a shit job, What can I do?
Excuse me,
Maybe you're right,
But it bothers me that
you didn't consult me,
I understand, I should
have told you about it,
But I'll take care of it, okay?
It won't take your time, It
won't be any more stress,
There's no point in having guys injured,
Why don't they refuse to work overtime?
They don't know their rights,
And since they've been here,
we tell them we can send
them back at any time,
They are afraid,
Don't exaggerate,
We are in Quebec, They're not slaves,
I'm just saying that if they don't
perform, Stphane will fire them,
You know he's bluffing,
He can't, he needs them,
You don't know
Stphane, he's not kidding,
Aren't you exaggerating a little?
I know you don't want to hear it, but I
think it sounds like your story with Pat,
You go into debt for
him and still help others,
You give, you give,
You don't realize it, but
we take advantage of you,
It's you who's in trouble, you
need to think about yourself,
Great,
Thank you, mom,
I say this because I love you,
It would be stupid if you
lost your job over this,
That's all, Do with it what you want,
Good evening, see you tomorrow,
Madam,
Madam, wait, - Yes?
What is it, Alfonso, I finished my day,
We wanted to thank you
for what you did for us,
It's really nice,
It's normal,
Say, tonight we celebrate the
independence of Guatemala,
Shall we offer you a beer?
No, thank you, - Just one,
I have things to do,
Come on,
No, I have work,
That would make us happy,
No, thank you, That's nice, but...
Come on,
No, really,
Ariana! Ariana!
OK, agreed,
Health!
Just one, no more,
I don't blame them for confusing us,
I also find that Quebecers,
they all look the same,
Stphane, Marcel, Ariana,
I confuse them all the time!
That's not true, Let's see, guys,
I wanted to tell you, ma'am,
what you did was great,
Really, thank you from
the bottom of my heart,
So much the better,
Say, how do
you see me?
How do I see you?
With his eyes,
No, I mean, as an employee,
You have to be careful
with your attitude sometimes,
OK, let's calm down,
And the work itself?
Work is fine,
- How are you?
- Yes,
Does it deserve a letter
of recommendation?
A letter of recommendation?
You know, to be able to come back,
I don't know what you're talking about,
At the end of the year, the factory provides
us with a letter of
recommendation which tells
the Government of
Canada that we are reliable,
Without this, you cannot re-register
for the program the following year,
Serious? Are you sure?
Believe me, This is
my seventh year here,
It's expensive to get a place so you have to
come back every year,
otherwise it is not profitable,
He's right,
I deserve one, right?
You owe it to us,
What do I owe you, exactly?
You drank our chela all evening,
Your chela?
Yes,
It means beer, Write it down
in your translator's notebook,
What do you believe?
That I bust my ass all day for what?
So that we can help
ourselves from my fridge?
Don't push!
Come on, Juan, Come
play some guitar for us,
Calm down, it's just a joke!
We can't say anything anymore!
Come on, a little song,
Can I ask you a question?
How did you learn Spanish?
My mother made me learn
so I could talk to my father,
Is he Mexican?
No,
He is Guatemalan,
Serious?
Yeah, Its crazy, I know!
Gosh!
Does he live here?
No, he's over there,
I remember writing to my father
so that he invites me to Guatemala,
so that he could introduce me to my country,
I never got a response,
That means that
have you never been to Guatemala?
Can I ask you a question?
Why were you crying
on the bus the first night?
For nothing,
Come on, tell me,
Or maybe you need another chela,
It's because
Maria, my wife,
before I leave,
she prepared a surprise party for me,
Never have so many people
I love come here for me,
I realized I had left without thanking her,
With fatigue, I started to cry,
It's ridiculous, I know!
No not at all,
I'll show you a photo,
Is your back okay?
Yes, thank you,
If you want, we can see the doctor,
I don't want to lose any work days,
This is my family,
She's my youngest,
How beautiful she is!
What is her name?
Roxana,
Too cute,
THANKS,
I have others, Wait,
No, this one,
Do you have a motorcycle?
Yes,
I am a deliveryman,
- Propane?
- Yes,
If it was enough to support my
family, it would be my dream job,
Your dream job?
Yes, my dream job,
When I'm on my motorcycle, I am free,
I have peace,
I don't come home exhausted like here,
I can take care of my kids,
And you? Is this your dream job here?
No,
I need money to
save my apartment,
It's stupid, isn't it?
What happened?
I was with someone who...
Hey, they look like they're having a blast,
Yes, it's a national holiday,
There is a neighbour who
complained about the noise,
It's one o'clock, I don't
want to see the cops,
I'll take care of it, Thank you, Mathieu,
Guys!
The party is over,
Serious?
Yes, it's getting late,
Ariane, one last song, just for you,
No, we have to stop now,
Come on, buy him a beer,
The evening is just beginning,
He is the guard of the factory,
The party is over,
Oh, sorry sir!
Are you the factory guard?
What happened? They
didn't want you in the police?
Sorry, I didn't know
you were so important!
Its okay, go to bed, ok,
What's his name?
Enrique, I think, I don't know,
there are so many of them,
I understand, Plus,
they all look the same,
Yeah,
They can clean it up tomorrow,
Good evening, - Thank you, Mathieu,
Hey, man! You're taking your time!
- Where do I put it?
- Next to the stairs,
What is this?
A petition,
A petition for what?
I'm busy, Alfonso,
There are sixteen of us demanding
the removal of the cameras,
Let's see, we can't remove
the cameras from the factory,
It's a security issue,
No, you misunderstood me,
Not in the factory, in the residence,
Even in the dormitories,
What?
What are you talking about?
We pay rent,
Outside of working hours,
monitoring us is illegal,
We can do something, right?
I'm just asking,
Do you think you're a
union representative?
What do I tell them? Why
are there cameras suddenly?
They drink and disturb the neighbours,
If Ricard finds out, I'm dead,
Isn't it illegal to monitor them?
Pardon?
They pay, they are at home,
Do we have the right to do that?
Don't get involved, - I'm just asking,
Ariane, I'm not kidding,
You're too sensitive to work here,
Is it illegal or not?
Why were you drinking
with them at the residence?
You know the rules forbid it,
I understand your situation,
but know that I too have debts,
You're threatening my job,
Holy shit,
Sorry, but I refuse to
be filmed while I sleep,
It's unbearable,
There is a way to act, right?
Which?
A complaint?
I doubt this is possible,
Why not?
There's even a camera
in front of the toilet,
Is it normal for them
to know when I shit?
I don't agree with Stphane,
I spoke to him, he didn't listen,
This bullshit tires me,
I'm going to call the Inspectorate,
They refuse anonymous complaints,
Stphane would know it came from you,
Do you know what I believe?
I think you're afraid of losing your job,
You told Manuel, you just
want to save your apartment,
Shut up, Juan, That's not what I said,
Should I keep my mouth shut, too?
It's your fault, this mess, - What?
You were drunk, she helped you,
Don't be an idiot,
Manuel, are you coming?
Alfonso, thank you for
defending us, but she is right,
I come to work, not to rebel,
Me too, but there are limits,
You are fine,
Your place in the program
is profitable, not mine,
They break the law,
do you agree with that?
I didn't know it before today,
And I don't care,
What are you doing?
What is this money?
It's just a small debt,
It's none of your business,
A debt of what?
Julio pumped me up for the program,
Its normal that I thank him,
How much do you give him?
Forty,
Forty what?
Forty percent,
From your salary?
Yes,
What?
Are you giving him forty percent
because he screwed you over?
So what?
Everyone does that,
What's the problem?
Living here costs you a fortune
and you give it forty percent?
In a year, Manuel will recommend
someone and get a percentage,
No, give him his money back,
That's how it is in Guatemala,
I don't care,
Give him his money back,
I advise you not to get
involved, my little one,
Otherwise what?
What are you going to do?
Tell me,
I'm here, trying to help you
while you exploit each other,
I didn't ask you anything,
Give him his money back,
Or do you want me to call security?
I snap my fingers and you go home!
He looks like Stphane,
You learned your lesson well,
Here, take my money,
GOOD,
I just want to save
my apartment, after all,
Well done, Juan,
Take a break, I'll take care of it,
No,
I'm doing well,
We're changing positions soon,
Drink water,
You don't look good,
What do you want?
Come on Manuel, it's my money,
Didn't you understand what Ariane said?
She's right,
Don't get involved,
I need this money,
No, Manuel,
What right do you have to get involved?
He's already given you
enough, The debt is repaid,
How are you,
He's right, we had a commitment,
What do you find in him?
To help him like that?
Do you want to suck it? Stop, Julio,
Repeat to see,
You want to suck it, you shitty Mexican?
Do you like big cocks?
Stop,
Stephane,
Stephane,
And shit,
Him, And who is the other one?
It's him, I think,
These two, you take them out,
What's going on?
Tell them to get dressed,
What is it?
I don't know, Get dressed,
Jean-Pierre, prepare a car for the airport,
What are they doing?
I don't know,
Can you tell me what's going on?
Are you sending them back?
Zero tolerance, That's the rule,
It wasn't even at work,
Where are they taking us?
I don't know, I will do what I can,
Gather your Guats, I
have to talk to them,
Call the agency, I need two more,
Stphane, wait!
Ariane, calm down,
It's not worth losing your job,
Translate,
Let this serve as a warning to you,
The next ones to cause
trouble will also be expelled,
Tell them the rotations are over,
I shouldn't have listened to you,
What?
Seriously? For what?
We tried it your way and
I had nothing but trouble,
If they don't follow, we replace them,
Out of the question,
Do that and I'll call Ricard to
tell him how you're treating them,
Do you think he doesn't know it?
Ariane, you are going
to lose at this game,
I ask you again,
Translate,
Translate or I'll fire your
boyfriends immediately,
All right,
Get me these three,
These three?
No, it's okay, stop!
Gentlemen,
There will be no more rotations,
It's unfair, I know,
But it's a hole in the, You know,
I'll see what I can do to fix this,
It's good,
It wasn't that difficult?
Hello, Alfonso,
I guess you can't answer,
I wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry,
I'll try to get you a letter
of recommendation,
Call me back when you land,
Ciao,
What is it?
Are you going to say that
someone is taking advantage of me?
In thirty-five years in
HR, I've never seen that,
So what do I do?
Help me, mom,
And the recruitment
agency? Can she help you?
They charge for each recruitment,
The more there is renewal,
the better it is for them,
You could talk to the
media, write on the subject?
I can't talk about it publicly!
Otherwise I violate my
contract and get sued,
Without a union and with video,
you can't do much for them,
But...
Maybe you can help
the one with back pain,
Bend over,
I can't do more,
That's the maximum,
Okay, he can sit down,
Sit down,
Are you sure this is a good idea?
Yes, with insurance, you
will have your full salary,
Don't worry,
It looks like a lumbar sprain,
I'm putting him off work for a week,
It is a muscle relaxant,
Take once a day with meals,
He can also take ibuprofen, if necessary,
But most importantly, its rest,
Don't move,
Okay, that's good,
It'll be fine,
THANKS,
Did your mother tell you to do this?
It's done, let him rest,
You knew we had a dedicated doctor!
You complicate things by
involving Health Insurance,
Excuse me, but they are there,
We take care of it,
It won't be long,
You make me lose another
guy and I have to pay for it too?
- You just don't have to send them back,
- Be careful, Ariadne,
Sorry, I can't be complicit anymore,
It's disgusting to treat them like this,
People are looking at us,
You can't be an accomplice
anymore? Give me your pass back,
Give it back,
You had enough chances,
You can't fire me like that,
I'm not firing you, you resign,
You say you can't take
it anymore, Your pass!
Gently,
Shut up, Michle!
Give me your pass,
Do you feel manly
when you talk like that?
Give me your fucking pass!
There are reports to be
translated before 4 p.m.
Nothing but translation,
Any idiot can do that,
Why am I crying?
I'm so angry,
I'll explain everything to Robin,
The union will support you,
You will be rehired by tonight,
No, mom, it's not worth it,
Come on, it's out of the question!
When I go there, I feel like shit,
Ariane, what are you
going to do without work?
Did you do all this for nothing?
It's unfair,
You are the victim,
Mom, don't say that,
But it's the truth,
Think of yourself before others,
at least once in your life,
Do you really think I didn't
know Pat was cheating?
What?
I don't know how he did it,
but I knew there was something,
He earned so much and barely worked,
I'm not stupid,
I kept quiet and enjoyed it,
So don't say I don't think about myself,
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I...
I was afraid you wouldn't help me,
You know,
I could ignore what's
going on at the factory,
Like I did with Pat,
But look where it got me,
How do you feel?
I still have a little pain,
Only four weeks left,
I know,
I miss you,
I'll call you back later,
Good evening,
My name is Richard,
I am the new coordinator,
How are you?
Alright,
Great,
We have a favour to ask you,
We have just received an unexpected
shipment and we are a little short on staff,
These are your best friends,
Can we defer payments for a month?
We're lucky the creditors
accepted the deal,
I can't do anything, - A month?
This is already a big concession,
It would end in a chase,
Do you understand, Ariane?
Yes, I understand, - You seem absent,
What do you understand?
I have fifteen days to find a job
otherwise I have to sell the apartment,
We need help, It's urgent,
I have to ask,
- Is he feverish or cold?
- Cold,
- Be careful, move away!
- Sorry,
- Wait!
- What?
The cameras will see you,
I don't care, Come on!
Yes, I'm getting there,
Manual?
Manuel, are you okay?
He's breathing, anyway,
What happened?
I don't know, he was rambling,
Who found it?
It's me,
He woke me up, He moaned,
Was he moaning?
Yes, he looked unwell,
The ambulance is coming?
Yes, they say to pour
cold water on his face,
I'm going to get some,
Yes, I stay online,
You know, everything has gotten
worse since you left the factory,
Did they shovel it again?
Since when?
A few days, a week, maybe,
Manuel, are you okay?
What's happening to you?
Here 694 for the central, we
need a 10-10 for the hospital,
I think he's going to vomit,
Sir, hold this,
It's okay, I got it,
Let him hold it himself,
It'll help him stay conscious,
Hold it,
It'll be OK,
Name of God,
Is this, - Stay there, we'll come get you,
Hold the elevator,
Madam?
- Do you speak Spanish?
- Yes,
We need you, Follow me,
We'll catch up with them over here,
- How are you?
- Yes,
OK, this way,
Give me your stuff,
Wash your hands here,
We're going to do an
emergency gastroscopy on him,
We need you to make
sure he collaborates,
- Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand,
Put this on,
Come sit here, quickly,
We're going to put a
tube down his throat,
He shouldn't struggle,
You're not going to put him to sleep?
He lost too much
blood, We could lose him,
Talk to him, that he remains conscious,
Manuel, we'll take care of you,
We're going to put a
tube down your throat,
You have to stay calm, okay?
Here we go,
Open your mouth,
He's going to vomit,
Where am I?
At the hospital, we take care of you,
We're going back,
Tell him not to throw up,
Please don't vomit,
Don't vomit Manuel,
Open, - Open your mouth,
We don't give up,
It'll be OK,
Calm down, everything is fine, Trust me,
We have no choice, You have to go,
Madam, step back a little,
Don't throw up, Stay calm,
Keep talking to him,
You are on your motorcycle,
You are all alone, on your motorcycle,
You have peace,
We are here,
It's good, stay calm,
It's a beautiful day, there is sun, wind,
You ride your motorcycle, you are free,
He needs to stop moving,
Continue, - That's what I do!
You are doing well,
Manuel, look me in the eyes!
Everything is fine,
Everything's fine, don't worry,
I'm with you, don't worry,
Calm down, Stop moving,
You are on your motorcycle,
You are on your motorbike,
everything is calm,
It's almost over,
I know, it hurts,
You have to hold on a little longer,
Stop moving,
Please, it's almost over,
Everything is fine,
You will see your daughter again soon,
Your little Roxana,
In a few days, you will
see your daughter again,
She's waiting for you,
Come on, it's almost over,
You're almost there,
Your wife and daughter
are waiting for you,
You're doing well, keep going,
Hold on, I'm with you,
Madam,
That's a total of 43,825,95,
What method of payment?
Wait, did you say how much?
43,825,95,
I'm not the one who's
going to pay for that,
I don't even work there anymore,
Do you have contact details
for anyone else at this location?
Madam? Can I talk
to you for two minutes?
- Can I go?
- Yes,
For now, no sign of infection,
I've never seen such a stomach injury,
Her doctor prescribed
cylobensoprane for her sprain,
Did he respect the dosage?
To my knowledge, yes,
Was he taking something
else? Paracetamol or ibuprofen?
I don't know, maybe,
One thing is certain, to get
there, he suffered for weeks,
Tell him to take a deep breath,
Take a deep breath,
Good,
He can get dressed,
You can get dressed,
Thank you, you save my life,
You must initial each page
and then sign at the end,
What exactly is it?
This is just for reimbursement
of medical expenses,
Is it normal that this
is from two weeks ago?
It's nothing, Just a
formality, I assure you,
I don't know how to read,
Can you explain to me, please?
Listen,
If you don't sign now,
it will delay everything,
You will have to stay here
alone while the others go back,
Do you understand?
What did Health Insurance tell you?
That it's not a work accident,
Nobody wants to pay,
I can't work and I don't have a salary,
I don't see what we can do,
I can never repay that,
I know,
Did you call the consulate?
No,
I don't even know what to say to them,
When is the call with Health Insurance?
Monday,
At ten in the morning,
This Monday?
Yes,
Please Ariane, I really need your help,
Don't leave me alone,
Hello, it's Ariane Blanger, I have a
job interview with you this Monday,
Yes, correct,
I'm calling because I'm
having a little setback,
Would it be possible to postpone
our meeting until the afternoon?
Yes, I understand,
Are you thinking of doing
a second day of interviews?
You must submit a request for
administrative review
with a new claim form,
You don't send it until you show it to me,
You have to choose the right words because
if it goes to court, they can use it against him,
Do you have Manuel's schedule?
I have the ones I
made before I was fired,
Ask Manuel to send
you the missing ones,
Afterwards, you will have to go to the
hospital to ask for the notes of the two doctors,
Why make him sign a false declaration,
What is it for?
Not to increase their
insurance contributions,
What do they call his position? Daily?
No, forage harvester,
Look at,
- What an ordeal!
- What?
Twenty-nine days straight of shovelling?
Only two Sundays off?
What is she doing there?
Didn't you warn him?
Show him,
This is a legal power of attorney,
If you want to talk to Manuel,
from now on, it goes through me,
Do you think you're a lawyer now?
You can go there, We
don't need you anymore,
Am I going too fast?
No, continue,
On September 18, Manuel
Morales was off work for seven days,
On September 22, I'm not here anymore, but
according to Manuel, Stphane
gets him back to shovelling,
That's not what he said in his statement,
Sorry to interrupt you, Mr, Cournoyer,
A lumbar sprain is recognized
as an occupational injury,
No need to go over that again,
The problem, it's the stomach wound,
He didn't follow his dosage, Without
wanting to insult him, it's his fault,
When they went to see Manuel, they gave him
pills without dosage, saying it would take
away the pain and he
would be able to shovel,
It's nonsense,
Is this to get back at
you for losing your job?
You're wasting our time,
Mr, Cournoyer, stop interrupting him,
She speaks on behalf of your
employee, he has the right to be heard,
- Can I continue?
- Go ahead,
It is an over-the-counter
anti-inflammatory but also a gastric irritant,
And so?
Manuel continues to
shovel eight days straight,
He's in pain, he's confused, he doesn't
know who to talk to, so he gorges himself on
pills and combines that with his prescription,
On the ninth day, he is in the
hospital with a hole in his stomach,
Look, we don't blame anyone,
But you know like I do
that he won't be able to pay,
We are just asking for an
administrative complaint...
Do you mean a revision?
Yes, an administrative review to recognize
the stomach injury as
an occupational injury,
The least we could do would
be to not put him in debt,
Why did Mr, Morales
say he was fit to work?
He was not the one who
filled out the declaration,
You could ask him the question,
that we hear it from his mouth?
Why did you write that you
were ready to start working again?
No, I didn't write anything,
I know,
But they want to hear you say it,
knowing that it comes from you,
It's almost over,
I don't know what I signed,
You know I don't read very well,
He doesn't know what he signed,
He doesn't know how to read,
These are serious allegations,
Yes,
This deserves an investigation,
Don't tell me you believe her,
It's your word against his,
This is his declaration!
We wouldn't have forced
him to sign, damn it!
Mr, Cournoyer, your
employee is within his rights,
You won't gain my sympathy
by talking to me like that,
I will send the review request,
Mr, Morales, you have the
right to request an investigation,
You can file a complaint so
they can investigate, if you want,
No,
I don't want any more problems,
- Are you sure?
- Yes,
I just want to go home,
He doesn't want to file a complaint,
just that it gets sorted out,
Okay,
I have received and noted the request,
The reassessment may
take up to two weeks,
I'll keep you informed,
What is your visit worth to us?
You put us in with Health Insurance,
I'll take care of it,
What are you doing here?
Let's see, Michle,
I just came to say goodbye to them,
What happened to you?
If they do an investigation,
we're all going to lose our jobs,
At least now you know how they feel,
Good morning,
Hello guys, how are you?
Hi,
You must be happy to go home!
Yeah,
Manuel, I'll put your suitcase on the bus,
THANKS,
SO?
The Guatemala hospital
will take over your file,
They will take care of the
paperwork with Health Insurance,
Are you okay, Manuel?
Yeah,
What is it?
Nothing, everything is fine,
Tell me, What is it?
Richard, the new translator,
told us that everyone who
keeps in touch with you
will not have their
recommendation for next year,
Come on, everyone, It's time, let's go!
What? Do you want to come back?
After everything you've been through?
Are you not serious?
Come on!
Let's hurry, please,
Juan, will you sing us a song?
For the road,
No, my guitar is in the hold,
Come on, man! Usually,
you never shut up!
I tell you my guitar is in the hold,
Come on, just one,
- A cappella?
- Come on!
And the others, do you
want me to sing along?
Yeah,
Those who know her, sing with me,
This one again?
Stop,
Sir,
What's going on?
What's wrong?
What is it?
Just a minute,
Ariana!
Manuel, swarm!
Two seconds,
If one day you come to Guatemala,
It would be a pleasure for me
to introduce you to your country,
Ariane, be ready to do this quickly,
Otherwise, it will never end,
Okay,
Gentlemen,
When you get off the bus,
take a copy of the contract,
Is that understood?
THANKS,
Good evening,
THANKS,
Stphane, this is Ariane,
She will be the coordinator
of the Guatemalans,
Do you know each other?
She's dating my friend, Pat,
I learned about his trial, I'm really sorry,
How are you? Is he holding up?
I don't know, we are no longer together,
Sorry, I didn't know that, - How are you,
So, are you back?
I'm at my mother's house,
at the edge of the river,
Oh yes, Nicole, Did she recommend it?
She told me that Ariane
spoke Spanish and lived nearby,
Have you never worked in a factory?
No, but my mother does,
And I helped Pat with
the construction staff,
It'll be fine,
It's our first time too, with the Guats,
We will be there to train
you, you will learn quickly,
The bulk of the work,
this is the translation,
Any idiot who speaks
the language can do that,
Excuse me,
Is there a question?
He doesn't know how to read very well,
He asks what that amount is,
S-A-R?
What does he say?
He asks what S-A-R means,
Union dues,
Richelieu Foods Union,
These are union dues,
What is this?
But the contract says we don't
have the right to join the union,
And do you have to pay contributions?
They do not have the right to
join the union but must pay dues?
Yes I know, That's how it is,
That's how it is,
Yes, but with $300 rent, taxes...
And we pay for a service for nothing?
What does he say?
On the farm where I was
before, it was cheaper,
He doesn't want to pay the dues,
The contributions?
Union dues, since he is
not entitled to the service,
Robin will never accept,
What if we changed his contract?
No, you have to pay the contributions,
It's the law,
If he doesn't want to, no one forces him,
Others will take his place,
If it doesn't suit you, you can go home,
I'm sorry,
Do you agree with that?
We have no choice,
Mom, leave it,
It's not worth it, I'm leaving again soon,
Are you sure?
We're not going to live
in boxes all summer,
I'll put this away, You
won't see them anymore,
Did it go well?
It was,
You didn't tell me that Stphane
Cournoyer ran the factory,
Do you know him?
Yes, he was in Pat's gang,
I denounced him when he
bothered Martine's daughters,
That doesn't mean anything to me,
Is it serious?
No,
It's just weird to come back and see that
the school bullies are factory managers,
I'll do this tomorrow,
I'm tired,
Ariadne,
What?
Pat called from prison,
I told him what I thought about it,
I don't want to talk to him,
I know, let's see,
Hurry up, It's going to
come out of my mouth,
Everyone takes their turn!
He's been there for at least 15 minutes,
If you put pressure on
me, it's going to be difficult,
Oh yes? What are you going to do?
Piss on me?
It's going to be hot,
after so much waiting,
Ariadne,
I sympathize, you know that,
But you can't tell creditors,
"Sorry, I'm just a victim,
"At least, the apartment is in your name,
Have you thought about selling it?
No, I want to do debt consolidation,
The easiest thing would be to sell,
You could pay it all off at once,
Yes, but I don't want to,
You can sell for more,
make added value,
All he has left is this apartment,
Can we at least avoid losing it?
Ariane, we have known
each other for a long time,
I'll be honest,
Even when negotiating a great deal,
monthly payments will be heavy,
How are you going to pay?
She has a new job,
One that pays well,
What exactly is your new job?
Ariadne?
The problem with the huller,
This is because the corn leaves
and husk are blocking the drain,
The team must clean continuously,
there is no machine for that,
Otherwise, it overflows
and production stops,
I've never smelled anything worse,
And I went to the
bathroom after Guillermo,
Gentlemen,
Gentlemen,
There are two water outlets,
The corn husks must be removed,
When the wheelbarrows are full,
you will empty them over there,
- Is that understood?
- Yes,
He must be shovelling in the
water, with his wooden leg,
What did he say?
He was joking,
Go ahead, you with your wooden leg,"
Are you there to mess
around or to work?
I don't have time to waste,
He asks if you are here
to mess around or to work,
To work,
So let's get to work,
It's good,
Madam,
Can I talk to you?
Yes, sit down,
We need your help,
The supermarket where we
do our shopping is not nearby,
I wanted to see with you if you could sometimes
take us to the supermarket
during the week,
I don't know,
I don't drive, I can't take you,
Could anyone on the team do it?
The other time, it took us
two hours to get there on foot,
And we finish late,
We can't do this every day,
Yes, I understand,
I'll see what I can do, but I
don't know if Stphane will want to
rent transport because it's expensive,
But that's not your responsibility?
My responsibility is to
translate what you say,
I mean, as an intermediary
between us and the factory,
Knowing Stphane...
Who else am I talking to?
Okay, I'll see what I can do,
Manuel Morales? We
just received a shipment,
What?
It's overtime,
Ramirez? Overtime,
Faster, Manuel, the water is rising,
Don't you see that it's going to overflow?
You are too slow!
Take a shovel, do something!
Come on, everyone is waiting,
How are you?
Stphane, We need to
talk about frozen foods,
Nothing serious, just a little delay,
Let me go, I've been talking
to Ricard for three hours,
Are you not eating?
Later, I have to submit
these reports before 4 p.m.
Fucking rush,
Did you miss the village?
No, I missed the waterfront,
You saw your friends
again, Amlie and all that?
No, they weren't Pat's
friends anymore anyway,
Holy Pat, quite a number,
You knew, right?
Knew what?
Pat and his shenanigans,
you had to know,
No, why do you say that?
We all know what he is like,
You must have suspected that,
Don't get angry, we just talk,
I'm not angry, I just
have 24 reports to finish,
Are you okay, ma'am?
Yes, I was just hot,
What would Stphane say if he
caught you wandering around like that?
Are you here to mess around or to work?
Hello?
Rest assured, madam,
He's like that, Juan,
He catches the fly easily,
A real kid,
Fuck you, damn Mexican,
A real kid,
Is it that funny?
I don't see what's so funny,
Madam,
Could I speak to the boss?
Give birth, my day is over
and my son is waiting for me,
We're listening, what's the matter?
My father is dead,
His father has just died,
I should go back,
I would like to leave for five
days with your permission,
He asks to come home for
five days to go to the funeral,
First, offer him our condolences,
I'm sorry, all our condolences,
He can go there, but
he would lose his place,
I can't send a replacement for five days,
You can go back, but you
won't be able to come back,
I beg you,
I went into debt to come,
He needs this job, he
went into debt to come,
I'm sorry, I can't do more,
I'm sorry,
What if I only leave for two days,
I come back the day after the funeral,
What if he's only gone
for two days and he...
It's complicated with corn rushes,
There will never be a good time,
We can't, I don't want to set a precedent,
Stphane, his father has just died,
Can't we bring in a temporary
worker from Quebec?
No one will do it for $10 an hour,
I swear to you, It
doesn't make me happy,
If I say yes, I'll pay for it eventually,
Sorry, my kid is waiting for me,
I'm sorry,
Stphane is temperamental,
but he settles things quickly,
When the French bought the
factory, they wanted to close it,
- Oh yes?
- Stphane fought,
He got the idea from Latinos,
Thanks to him, we have work,
I didn't know it,
And then Ricard puts
so much pressure on him,
I don't think I would do better,
That's not what I'm saying, it's just...
He's tough,
If you want advice, you
should toughen up a little too,
Mexico, Guatemala,
it's not the same reality,
And you are a woman,
Can you ask it to
choose a four-digit PIN?
You must choose a four-digit code,
Type it on the keyboard,
Again,
Again,
It doesn't match, we have to start again,
You must have been
wrong, we have to start again,
What code should I enter then?
The one you want,
Again,
No, wait,
You must enter the same code,
An easy to remember code,
But what is it for? I don't understand,
For your money,
Trust me,
Come on,
Again,
Perfect, thank you,
You allow,
THANKS,
No, gentlemen, I just
bring the schedules,
Hide the beer!
You can continue, let's see!
The floods slowed us
down, but it will get better,
I'll be honest with you,
We are not impressed by
the results of the last quarter,
I don't know what to tell you,
We trusted you,
You wanted foreign labour, you got it,
What the hell are they doing?
At 3% increase, we are
far from the objectives,
Don't worry, Mr, Ricard,
I have confidence,
What is this story about
corn that rotted in the sun?
I've never seen that!
We have 23 factories,
that never happens!
What's the problem? Incompetence?
We do our best,
It's simple, This is the final warning,
Or you reach 8% or I will
send someone in your place,
It's clear?
Is it clear?
It's understood, We will
take the necessary measures,
GOOD, We'll talk again next week,
Thank you, sir,
He is in a good mood,
I could see him working nights,
He's in good shape,
It's just his style,
Always so friendly,
I can't blame him,
No matter what you do,
it will never be enough,
Can we have candy
too? It would do us good,
Okay, guys, I think that's enough,
Excuse me,
Excuse me,
We stopped production 13 times
this month because it was clogged,
Can you see this with your guys?
You have to push them a little,
However, they return at night,
They work overtime every day,
It's my head that's on the block,
You have to push them, otherwise I'll
have to replace them, you understand?
Stphane, we are waiting for you,
I'm coming,
You've been doing a
great job for a month,
I need you,
Do the right thing, okay?
Well, gentlemen,
Things will change from now
on, we will work alternately,
In the morning, you
will have your usual shift,
And in the afternoon, you
will exchange positions,
For training on the optical
sorter, Manuel and Alfonso?
Come with me,
Yes?
Do we really have to, Madam?
Yes, it is necessary,
It's difficult, but we all
have to make an effort,
Can't you ask for volunteers?
Do you know many people
who want to do this job?
What are you doing? Are
you changing positions?
I make them do rotations,
Couldn't you tell me about it?
You told me, Do the right thing,
I said to talk to them,
not change their position,
I didn't want to bother you,
I know the training, Don't worry,
On the contrary! In case of
a problem, I am responsible,
There's no point in
having them shovelled 24/7,
I know what it is, I shovelled some corn,
It can't go any faster,
the guys are exhausted,
So what? A call to the
agency and we'll replace them,
Let's see, Stphane,
It's exhausting to shovel
50 hours per week,
It's a shit job, What can I do?
Excuse me,
Maybe you're right,
But it bothers me that
you didn't consult me,
I understand, I should
have told you about it,
But I'll take care of it, okay?
It won't take your time, It
won't be any more stress,
There's no point in having guys injured,
Why don't they refuse to work overtime?
They don't know their rights,
And since they've been here,
we tell them we can send
them back at any time,
They are afraid,
Don't exaggerate,
We are in Quebec, They're not slaves,
I'm just saying that if they don't
perform, Stphane will fire them,
You know he's bluffing,
He can't, he needs them,
You don't know
Stphane, he's not kidding,
Aren't you exaggerating a little?
I know you don't want to hear it, but I
think it sounds like your story with Pat,
You go into debt for
him and still help others,
You give, you give,
You don't realize it, but
we take advantage of you,
It's you who's in trouble, you
need to think about yourself,
Great,
Thank you, mom,
I say this because I love you,
It would be stupid if you
lost your job over this,
That's all, Do with it what you want,
Good evening, see you tomorrow,
Madam,
Madam, wait, - Yes?
What is it, Alfonso, I finished my day,
We wanted to thank you
for what you did for us,
It's really nice,
It's normal,
Say, tonight we celebrate the
independence of Guatemala,
Shall we offer you a beer?
No, thank you, - Just one,
I have things to do,
Come on,
No, I have work,
That would make us happy,
No, thank you, That's nice, but...
Come on,
No, really,
Ariana! Ariana!
OK, agreed,
Health!
Just one, no more,
I don't blame them for confusing us,
I also find that Quebecers,
they all look the same,
Stphane, Marcel, Ariana,
I confuse them all the time!
That's not true, Let's see, guys,
I wanted to tell you, ma'am,
what you did was great,
Really, thank you from
the bottom of my heart,
So much the better,
Say, how do
you see me?
How do I see you?
With his eyes,
No, I mean, as an employee,
You have to be careful
with your attitude sometimes,
OK, let's calm down,
And the work itself?
Work is fine,
- How are you?
- Yes,
Does it deserve a letter
of recommendation?
A letter of recommendation?
You know, to be able to come back,
I don't know what you're talking about,
At the end of the year, the factory provides
us with a letter of
recommendation which tells
the Government of
Canada that we are reliable,
Without this, you cannot re-register
for the program the following year,
Serious? Are you sure?
Believe me, This is
my seventh year here,
It's expensive to get a place so you have to
come back every year,
otherwise it is not profitable,
He's right,
I deserve one, right?
You owe it to us,
What do I owe you, exactly?
You drank our chela all evening,
Your chela?
Yes,
It means beer, Write it down
in your translator's notebook,
What do you believe?
That I bust my ass all day for what?
So that we can help
ourselves from my fridge?
Don't push!
Come on, Juan, Come
play some guitar for us,
Calm down, it's just a joke!
We can't say anything anymore!
Come on, a little song,
Can I ask you a question?
How did you learn Spanish?
My mother made me learn
so I could talk to my father,
Is he Mexican?
No,
He is Guatemalan,
Serious?
Yeah, Its crazy, I know!
Gosh!
Does he live here?
No, he's over there,
I remember writing to my father
so that he invites me to Guatemala,
so that he could introduce me to my country,
I never got a response,
That means that
have you never been to Guatemala?
Can I ask you a question?
Why were you crying
on the bus the first night?
For nothing,
Come on, tell me,
Or maybe you need another chela,
It's because
Maria, my wife,
before I leave,
she prepared a surprise party for me,
Never have so many people
I love come here for me,
I realized I had left without thanking her,
With fatigue, I started to cry,
It's ridiculous, I know!
No not at all,
I'll show you a photo,
Is your back okay?
Yes, thank you,
If you want, we can see the doctor,
I don't want to lose any work days,
This is my family,
She's my youngest,
How beautiful she is!
What is her name?
Roxana,
Too cute,
THANKS,
I have others, Wait,
No, this one,
Do you have a motorcycle?
Yes,
I am a deliveryman,
- Propane?
- Yes,
If it was enough to support my
family, it would be my dream job,
Your dream job?
Yes, my dream job,
When I'm on my motorcycle, I am free,
I have peace,
I don't come home exhausted like here,
I can take care of my kids,
And you? Is this your dream job here?
No,
I need money to
save my apartment,
It's stupid, isn't it?
What happened?
I was with someone who...
Hey, they look like they're having a blast,
Yes, it's a national holiday,
There is a neighbour who
complained about the noise,
It's one o'clock, I don't
want to see the cops,
I'll take care of it, Thank you, Mathieu,
Guys!
The party is over,
Serious?
Yes, it's getting late,
Ariane, one last song, just for you,
No, we have to stop now,
Come on, buy him a beer,
The evening is just beginning,
He is the guard of the factory,
The party is over,
Oh, sorry sir!
Are you the factory guard?
What happened? They
didn't want you in the police?
Sorry, I didn't know
you were so important!
Its okay, go to bed, ok,
What's his name?
Enrique, I think, I don't know,
there are so many of them,
I understand, Plus,
they all look the same,
Yeah,
They can clean it up tomorrow,
Good evening, - Thank you, Mathieu,
Hey, man! You're taking your time!
- Where do I put it?
- Next to the stairs,
What is this?
A petition,
A petition for what?
I'm busy, Alfonso,
There are sixteen of us demanding
the removal of the cameras,
Let's see, we can't remove
the cameras from the factory,
It's a security issue,
No, you misunderstood me,
Not in the factory, in the residence,
Even in the dormitories,
What?
What are you talking about?
We pay rent,
Outside of working hours,
monitoring us is illegal,
We can do something, right?
I'm just asking,
Do you think you're a
union representative?
What do I tell them? Why
are there cameras suddenly?
They drink and disturb the neighbours,
If Ricard finds out, I'm dead,
Isn't it illegal to monitor them?
Pardon?
They pay, they are at home,
Do we have the right to do that?
Don't get involved, - I'm just asking,
Ariane, I'm not kidding,
You're too sensitive to work here,
Is it illegal or not?
Why were you drinking
with them at the residence?
You know the rules forbid it,
I understand your situation,
but know that I too have debts,
You're threatening my job,
Holy shit,
Sorry, but I refuse to
be filmed while I sleep,
It's unbearable,
There is a way to act, right?
Which?
A complaint?
I doubt this is possible,
Why not?
There's even a camera
in front of the toilet,
Is it normal for them
to know when I shit?
I don't agree with Stphane,
I spoke to him, he didn't listen,
This bullshit tires me,
I'm going to call the Inspectorate,
They refuse anonymous complaints,
Stphane would know it came from you,
Do you know what I believe?
I think you're afraid of losing your job,
You told Manuel, you just
want to save your apartment,
Shut up, Juan, That's not what I said,
Should I keep my mouth shut, too?
It's your fault, this mess, - What?
You were drunk, she helped you,
Don't be an idiot,
Manuel, are you coming?
Alfonso, thank you for
defending us, but she is right,
I come to work, not to rebel,
Me too, but there are limits,
You are fine,
Your place in the program
is profitable, not mine,
They break the law,
do you agree with that?
I didn't know it before today,
And I don't care,
What are you doing?
What is this money?
It's just a small debt,
It's none of your business,
A debt of what?
Julio pumped me up for the program,
Its normal that I thank him,
How much do you give him?
Forty,
Forty what?
Forty percent,
From your salary?
Yes,
What?
Are you giving him forty percent
because he screwed you over?
So what?
Everyone does that,
What's the problem?
Living here costs you a fortune
and you give it forty percent?
In a year, Manuel will recommend
someone and get a percentage,
No, give him his money back,
That's how it is in Guatemala,
I don't care,
Give him his money back,
I advise you not to get
involved, my little one,
Otherwise what?
What are you going to do?
Tell me,
I'm here, trying to help you
while you exploit each other,
I didn't ask you anything,
Give him his money back,
Or do you want me to call security?
I snap my fingers and you go home!
He looks like Stphane,
You learned your lesson well,
Here, take my money,
GOOD,
I just want to save
my apartment, after all,
Well done, Juan,
Take a break, I'll take care of it,
No,
I'm doing well,
We're changing positions soon,
Drink water,
You don't look good,
What do you want?
Come on Manuel, it's my money,
Didn't you understand what Ariane said?
She's right,
Don't get involved,
I need this money,
No, Manuel,
What right do you have to get involved?
He's already given you
enough, The debt is repaid,
How are you,
He's right, we had a commitment,
What do you find in him?
To help him like that?
Do you want to suck it? Stop, Julio,
Repeat to see,
You want to suck it, you shitty Mexican?
Do you like big cocks?
Stop,
Stephane,
Stephane,
And shit,
Him, And who is the other one?
It's him, I think,
These two, you take them out,
What's going on?
Tell them to get dressed,
What is it?
I don't know, Get dressed,
Jean-Pierre, prepare a car for the airport,
What are they doing?
I don't know,
Can you tell me what's going on?
Are you sending them back?
Zero tolerance, That's the rule,
It wasn't even at work,
Where are they taking us?
I don't know, I will do what I can,
Gather your Guats, I
have to talk to them,
Call the agency, I need two more,
Stphane, wait!
Ariane, calm down,
It's not worth losing your job,
Translate,
Let this serve as a warning to you,
The next ones to cause
trouble will also be expelled,
Tell them the rotations are over,
I shouldn't have listened to you,
What?
Seriously? For what?
We tried it your way and
I had nothing but trouble,
If they don't follow, we replace them,
Out of the question,
Do that and I'll call Ricard to
tell him how you're treating them,
Do you think he doesn't know it?
Ariane, you are going
to lose at this game,
I ask you again,
Translate,
Translate or I'll fire your
boyfriends immediately,
All right,
Get me these three,
These three?
No, it's okay, stop!
Gentlemen,
There will be no more rotations,
It's unfair, I know,
But it's a hole in the, You know,
I'll see what I can do to fix this,
It's good,
It wasn't that difficult?
Hello, Alfonso,
I guess you can't answer,
I wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry,
I'll try to get you a letter
of recommendation,
Call me back when you land,
Ciao,
What is it?
Are you going to say that
someone is taking advantage of me?
In thirty-five years in
HR, I've never seen that,
So what do I do?
Help me, mom,
And the recruitment
agency? Can she help you?
They charge for each recruitment,
The more there is renewal,
the better it is for them,
You could talk to the
media, write on the subject?
I can't talk about it publicly!
Otherwise I violate my
contract and get sued,
Without a union and with video,
you can't do much for them,
But...
Maybe you can help
the one with back pain,
Bend over,
I can't do more,
That's the maximum,
Okay, he can sit down,
Sit down,
Are you sure this is a good idea?
Yes, with insurance, you
will have your full salary,
Don't worry,
It looks like a lumbar sprain,
I'm putting him off work for a week,
It is a muscle relaxant,
Take once a day with meals,
He can also take ibuprofen, if necessary,
But most importantly, its rest,
Don't move,
Okay, that's good,
It'll be fine,
THANKS,
Did your mother tell you to do this?
It's done, let him rest,
You knew we had a dedicated doctor!
You complicate things by
involving Health Insurance,
Excuse me, but they are there,
We take care of it,
It won't be long,
You make me lose another
guy and I have to pay for it too?
- You just don't have to send them back,
- Be careful, Ariadne,
Sorry, I can't be complicit anymore,
It's disgusting to treat them like this,
People are looking at us,
You can't be an accomplice
anymore? Give me your pass back,
Give it back,
You had enough chances,
You can't fire me like that,
I'm not firing you, you resign,
You say you can't take
it anymore, Your pass!
Gently,
Shut up, Michle!
Give me your pass,
Do you feel manly
when you talk like that?
Give me your fucking pass!
There are reports to be
translated before 4 p.m.
Nothing but translation,
Any idiot can do that,
Why am I crying?
I'm so angry,
I'll explain everything to Robin,
The union will support you,
You will be rehired by tonight,
No, mom, it's not worth it,
Come on, it's out of the question!
When I go there, I feel like shit,
Ariane, what are you
going to do without work?
Did you do all this for nothing?
It's unfair,
You are the victim,
Mom, don't say that,
But it's the truth,
Think of yourself before others,
at least once in your life,
Do you really think I didn't
know Pat was cheating?
What?
I don't know how he did it,
but I knew there was something,
He earned so much and barely worked,
I'm not stupid,
I kept quiet and enjoyed it,
So don't say I don't think about myself,
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I...
I was afraid you wouldn't help me,
You know,
I could ignore what's
going on at the factory,
Like I did with Pat,
But look where it got me,
How do you feel?
I still have a little pain,
Only four weeks left,
I know,
I miss you,
I'll call you back later,
Good evening,
My name is Richard,
I am the new coordinator,
How are you?
Alright,
Great,
We have a favour to ask you,
We have just received an unexpected
shipment and we are a little short on staff,
These are your best friends,
Can we defer payments for a month?
We're lucky the creditors
accepted the deal,
I can't do anything, - A month?
This is already a big concession,
It would end in a chase,
Do you understand, Ariane?
Yes, I understand, - You seem absent,
What do you understand?
I have fifteen days to find a job
otherwise I have to sell the apartment,
We need help, It's urgent,
I have to ask,
- Is he feverish or cold?
- Cold,
- Be careful, move away!
- Sorry,
- Wait!
- What?
The cameras will see you,
I don't care, Come on!
Yes, I'm getting there,
Manual?
Manuel, are you okay?
He's breathing, anyway,
What happened?
I don't know, he was rambling,
Who found it?
It's me,
He woke me up, He moaned,
Was he moaning?
Yes, he looked unwell,
The ambulance is coming?
Yes, they say to pour
cold water on his face,
I'm going to get some,
Yes, I stay online,
You know, everything has gotten
worse since you left the factory,
Did they shovel it again?
Since when?
A few days, a week, maybe,
Manuel, are you okay?
What's happening to you?
Here 694 for the central, we
need a 10-10 for the hospital,
I think he's going to vomit,
Sir, hold this,
It's okay, I got it,
Let him hold it himself,
It'll help him stay conscious,
Hold it,
It'll be OK,
Name of God,
Is this, - Stay there, we'll come get you,
Hold the elevator,
Madam?
- Do you speak Spanish?
- Yes,
We need you, Follow me,
We'll catch up with them over here,
- How are you?
- Yes,
OK, this way,
Give me your stuff,
Wash your hands here,
We're going to do an
emergency gastroscopy on him,
We need you to make
sure he collaborates,
- Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand,
Put this on,
Come sit here, quickly,
We're going to put a
tube down his throat,
He shouldn't struggle,
You're not going to put him to sleep?
He lost too much
blood, We could lose him,
Talk to him, that he remains conscious,
Manuel, we'll take care of you,
We're going to put a
tube down your throat,
You have to stay calm, okay?
Here we go,
Open your mouth,
He's going to vomit,
Where am I?
At the hospital, we take care of you,
We're going back,
Tell him not to throw up,
Please don't vomit,
Don't vomit Manuel,
Open, - Open your mouth,
We don't give up,
It'll be OK,
Calm down, everything is fine, Trust me,
We have no choice, You have to go,
Madam, step back a little,
Don't throw up, Stay calm,
Keep talking to him,
You are on your motorcycle,
You are all alone, on your motorcycle,
You have peace,
We are here,
It's good, stay calm,
It's a beautiful day, there is sun, wind,
You ride your motorcycle, you are free,
He needs to stop moving,
Continue, - That's what I do!
You are doing well,
Manuel, look me in the eyes!
Everything is fine,
Everything's fine, don't worry,
I'm with you, don't worry,
Calm down, Stop moving,
You are on your motorcycle,
You are on your motorbike,
everything is calm,
It's almost over,
I know, it hurts,
You have to hold on a little longer,
Stop moving,
Please, it's almost over,
Everything is fine,
You will see your daughter again soon,
Your little Roxana,
In a few days, you will
see your daughter again,
She's waiting for you,
Come on, it's almost over,
You're almost there,
Your wife and daughter
are waiting for you,
You're doing well, keep going,
Hold on, I'm with you,
Madam,
That's a total of 43,825,95,
What method of payment?
Wait, did you say how much?
43,825,95,
I'm not the one who's
going to pay for that,
I don't even work there anymore,
Do you have contact details
for anyone else at this location?
Madam? Can I talk
to you for two minutes?
- Can I go?
- Yes,
For now, no sign of infection,
I've never seen such a stomach injury,
Her doctor prescribed
cylobensoprane for her sprain,
Did he respect the dosage?
To my knowledge, yes,
Was he taking something
else? Paracetamol or ibuprofen?
I don't know, maybe,
One thing is certain, to get
there, he suffered for weeks,
Tell him to take a deep breath,
Take a deep breath,
Good,
He can get dressed,
You can get dressed,
Thank you, you save my life,
You must initial each page
and then sign at the end,
What exactly is it?
This is just for reimbursement
of medical expenses,
Is it normal that this
is from two weeks ago?
It's nothing, Just a
formality, I assure you,
I don't know how to read,
Can you explain to me, please?
Listen,
If you don't sign now,
it will delay everything,
You will have to stay here
alone while the others go back,
Do you understand?
What did Health Insurance tell you?
That it's not a work accident,
Nobody wants to pay,
I can't work and I don't have a salary,
I don't see what we can do,
I can never repay that,
I know,
Did you call the consulate?
No,
I don't even know what to say to them,
When is the call with Health Insurance?
Monday,
At ten in the morning,
This Monday?
Yes,
Please Ariane, I really need your help,
Don't leave me alone,
Hello, it's Ariane Blanger, I have a
job interview with you this Monday,
Yes, correct,
I'm calling because I'm
having a little setback,
Would it be possible to postpone
our meeting until the afternoon?
Yes, I understand,
Are you thinking of doing
a second day of interviews?
You must submit a request for
administrative review
with a new claim form,
You don't send it until you show it to me,
You have to choose the right words because
if it goes to court, they can use it against him,
Do you have Manuel's schedule?
I have the ones I
made before I was fired,
Ask Manuel to send
you the missing ones,
Afterwards, you will have to go to the
hospital to ask for the notes of the two doctors,
Why make him sign a false declaration,
What is it for?
Not to increase their
insurance contributions,
What do they call his position? Daily?
No, forage harvester,
Look at,
- What an ordeal!
- What?
Twenty-nine days straight of shovelling?
Only two Sundays off?
What is she doing there?
Didn't you warn him?
Show him,
This is a legal power of attorney,
If you want to talk to Manuel,
from now on, it goes through me,
Do you think you're a lawyer now?
You can go there, We
don't need you anymore,
Am I going too fast?
No, continue,
On September 18, Manuel
Morales was off work for seven days,
On September 22, I'm not here anymore, but
according to Manuel, Stphane
gets him back to shovelling,
That's not what he said in his statement,
Sorry to interrupt you, Mr, Cournoyer,
A lumbar sprain is recognized
as an occupational injury,
No need to go over that again,
The problem, it's the stomach wound,
He didn't follow his dosage, Without
wanting to insult him, it's his fault,
When they went to see Manuel, they gave him
pills without dosage, saying it would take
away the pain and he
would be able to shovel,
It's nonsense,
Is this to get back at
you for losing your job?
You're wasting our time,
Mr, Cournoyer, stop interrupting him,
She speaks on behalf of your
employee, he has the right to be heard,
- Can I continue?
- Go ahead,
It is an over-the-counter
anti-inflammatory but also a gastric irritant,
And so?
Manuel continues to
shovel eight days straight,
He's in pain, he's confused, he doesn't
know who to talk to, so he gorges himself on
pills and combines that with his prescription,
On the ninth day, he is in the
hospital with a hole in his stomach,
Look, we don't blame anyone,
But you know like I do
that he won't be able to pay,
We are just asking for an
administrative complaint...
Do you mean a revision?
Yes, an administrative review to recognize
the stomach injury as
an occupational injury,
The least we could do would
be to not put him in debt,
Why did Mr, Morales
say he was fit to work?
He was not the one who
filled out the declaration,
You could ask him the question,
that we hear it from his mouth?
Why did you write that you
were ready to start working again?
No, I didn't write anything,
I know,
But they want to hear you say it,
knowing that it comes from you,
It's almost over,
I don't know what I signed,
You know I don't read very well,
He doesn't know what he signed,
He doesn't know how to read,
These are serious allegations,
Yes,
This deserves an investigation,
Don't tell me you believe her,
It's your word against his,
This is his declaration!
We wouldn't have forced
him to sign, damn it!
Mr, Cournoyer, your
employee is within his rights,
You won't gain my sympathy
by talking to me like that,
I will send the review request,
Mr, Morales, you have the
right to request an investigation,
You can file a complaint so
they can investigate, if you want,
No,
I don't want any more problems,
- Are you sure?
- Yes,
I just want to go home,
He doesn't want to file a complaint,
just that it gets sorted out,
Okay,
I have received and noted the request,
The reassessment may
take up to two weeks,
I'll keep you informed,
What is your visit worth to us?
You put us in with Health Insurance,
I'll take care of it,
What are you doing here?
Let's see, Michle,
I just came to say goodbye to them,
What happened to you?
If they do an investigation,
we're all going to lose our jobs,
At least now you know how they feel,
Good morning,
Hello guys, how are you?
Hi,
You must be happy to go home!
Yeah,
Manuel, I'll put your suitcase on the bus,
THANKS,
SO?
The Guatemala hospital
will take over your file,
They will take care of the
paperwork with Health Insurance,
Are you okay, Manuel?
Yeah,
What is it?
Nothing, everything is fine,
Tell me, What is it?
Richard, the new translator,
told us that everyone who
keeps in touch with you
will not have their
recommendation for next year,
Come on, everyone, It's time, let's go!
What? Do you want to come back?
After everything you've been through?
Are you not serious?
Come on!
Let's hurry, please,
Juan, will you sing us a song?
For the road,
No, my guitar is in the hold,
Come on, man! Usually,
you never shut up!
I tell you my guitar is in the hold,
Come on, just one,
- A cappella?
- Come on!
And the others, do you
want me to sing along?
Yeah,
Those who know her, sing with me,
This one again?
Stop,
Sir,
What's going on?
What's wrong?
What is it?
Just a minute,
Ariana!
Manuel, swarm!
Two seconds,
If one day you come to Guatemala,
It would be a pleasure for me
to introduce you to your country,
