Read the official synopsis and watch the trailer for Two Days, One Night, starring Marion Cotillard (Inception, La Vien en Rose) and Fabrizio Rongione (The Kid With a Bike, Rosetta), opening in select theaters December 24, 2014.
Sandra (Cotillard) has just been released from the hospital to find that she no longer has a job. According to management, the only way Sandra can hope to regain her position at the factory is to convince her co-workers to sacrifice their much-needed yearly bonuses.
Now, over the course of one weekend, Sandra must confront each co-worker individually in order to win a majority of their votes before time runs out. With TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT, the Dardennes have turned a relevant social inquiry into a powerful statement on community solidarity, once again delivering a film that is simple on the surface but alive with both compassion and wisdom.
