Two Days, One Night

Two Days, One Night is the emotional and affecting story of one woman’s struggle with mental illness and potential redundancy. Following an extended period of sick leave, Sandra has just one weekend to convince her colleagues that they should each give up their bonus in order for her to keep her job, after company bosses sanction a ‘Sandra or Bonus’ staff vote to make their difficult decision. This powerful film from social commentators Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes features a virtuoso performance from Marion Cotillard as Sandra, and raises important issues of workers’ rights.
