Based on the case of a single mother, first exonerated for stealing a few packages of meat, then retried as an example, this is an account of one fiercely independent woman's tortuous passage through the judicial system. Politically unsophisticated, she lives in a world of futility and endless frustration in which even a senseless act of random criminality gives her a wonderful sense of liberation. Juxtaposed with this is her oppressive guilt over once voting for a far-right politician. This installment of the politically committed Gauche-Droite series uses the anonymous acts of shoplifting and voting to explore universal issues of poverty and social justice. Few will remain unmoved by Dominique Blanc's emotionally powerful performance.
