A single mother struggles for survival and a better future in a constant race against time. When she finally gets a job interview for a long-coveted position, a general public transport strike breaks out. Everything comes to a standstill, delays pile up and the fragile balance Julie has created is suddenly in jeopardy… The social drama, shot in thriller style, received the Best Director and Best Actress award in the Orizzonti section at the Venice Film Festival and a special mention at the Liff in Ljubljana.
