Between Two Worlds

Marianne Winckler, a well-known author, goes to live in northern France to research her new book on the subject of job insecurity. Without revealing her true identity, she gets hired as a cleaner, working with a group of other women. In this new role, she experiences financial instability and social invisibility first hand. But she also discovers mutual assistance and solidarity, strong bonds shared by these behind the scenes working women.
