Summary

After deciding to let his filmmaker roommate Stéphane (Demers) document his job search, unemployed engineer Christophe (Ahmarani) almost immediately regrets it. Not content to stay behind the camera, Stéphane quickly starts to ruin his friend’s prospects by railing against the monotonous bureaucracy – even during Christophe’s interviews!

A hilarious sendup of corporate culture, this clever mockumentary launched director Phillippe Falardeau’s career, winning Best Canadian First Feature at TIFF, and the Best First Feature Award at the Genies.
