Though times are tough, the women workers of a provincial toy factory are given new smocks to assure them of their company's stability. But they show up the next day to find the factory empty, its machinery and management nowhere to be seen. Now "redundant," they decide to pool their paltry compensation money toward a common goal, suggested by Louise: hire a hit man to kill the company's owner. Enter Michel, a paranoid security manager at a trailer park, who offers no credentials but has a formidable gun collection. Partners in crime, Louise and Michel work their way up the corporate food chain behind the factory closure. (Funfilm Distribution)
