A 1970s French comedy about a submissive wife discovering agency and capability when forced to manage her husband's factory during his illness, blending feminist awakening with period charm.

In 1977 France, tightfisted factory owner Robert Pujol is so shocked when his workers strike for higher wages that he suffers a heart attack. His acquiescent wife, Suzanne, whose father had founded the factory, takes over management duties during Robert's convalescence.
