Best Documentary, César 2017

For Jocelyne and Serge Klur, everything is falling apart : their factory manufactured Kenzo suits (LVMH Group) in Poix-du-Nord, near Valenciennes, but that was before being relocated to Poland. The couple is now unemployed, riddled with debts, and risking to lose their house. That is when François Ruffin, founder of the newspaper Fakir, knocked on their door. He is confident that he will save them. Surrounded by a Belgian tax inspector, a religious sister, a delegate from the CGT trade union, and former Samaritaine salesmen, he will carry the Klur case to the LVMH general assembly, determined to touch the heart of its CEO, Bernard Arnault. But can they win against a billionaire, like David against Goliath? Suspense, emotion, and fun. Will our nickeled-plated Picard feet succeed in duping the first luxury group in the world, and the richest man in France?
