Eric Gravel, 2021, France, 88 min French with subtitles
Full Time follows an ordinary working-class woman as she attempts to keep her head above water in a society that seems set up to ensure she will fail. Single mother Julie works a grueling job as a chambermaid in a five-star Parisian hotel. Her daily balance of commuting from her remote suburb into Paris, tenuous childcare and search for a new job to climb out of debt, becomes unmanageable during a paralyzing transport strike in Paris.
