When Edith (Sandrine Bonnaire, also appearing at this year's Festival in A Season in France) is informed that the job she's held for her entire adult life is being relocated to Morocco, she refuses to accept a healthy severance package. Against the advice of her colleagues, her self-absorbed son, and even the consultant hired to fire her, Edith instead opts to follow her job to Tangier. Arriving with the naïve energy of a teenager on their first overseas trip, Edith realizes before long what she's up against: the expected subpar working conditions and subpar pay, but also an adjustment to new social and cultural realities - nuances that her failure to grasp would mean her job and, more importantly, her dignity.
