In the Dardenne Brothers’ 2014 film “Two Days One Night” (Deux jours, une nuit), we are treated to a very personal, gritty drama which speaks to some of the challenges working families face in the world of today. Sandra, played by Marion Cotillard is a wife and mother who works at Solwal, a solar energy company in Belgium. She suffers from depression and after recently enduring a nervous breakdown is about to return to work. During Sandra’s absence, there were discussions amongst management about her ongoing role at the firm. It was decided that her co-workers would vote whether the protagonist should remain employed or made redundant. The twist being that if the vote is in favour of Sandra staying, they lose an attractive financial bonus. The vote is to be taken on the coming Monday, Sandra’s first day back to work.
