Entre nos mains
Into Our Own Hands
Uncertain times for a small lingerie factory in the French city of Orléans. The employees of the medium-sized company are faced with the decision of agreeing to a takeover by another corporation or founding a co-op themselves. Carefully and with a dose of humor, Otero observes the women and men as they consider the advantages and disadvantages of carrying on the company themselves and captures their ambivalent, thoroughly considered reactions to temporary setbacks. She remains firmly in the factory and concentrates on the side of the employees. A lesson in applied labor struggles. (Lina Dinkla)
