HUMAN RESOURCES:

Hi, Felix, where is your mom?

They have grown.

It's heavy.

- You got any presents for us?

- Did you have a good trip?

- Hi, mom.

- Hi, son. Did you have a nice trip?

- The presents!

- Don't you say hi to your son?

- Hi, dad.

- Hi, son.

Cheer up, dad, your son's here.

He thought you had missed the train.

Times goes by, he remains the same.

He's been talking about your job

for a month...

and it's been a week

since he's saying you'll be late.

If he had missed the train,

you would go and talk to the boss?

I go to the plant every day,

it's quite an ordinary thing.

And I wouldn't hesitate

to talk to the boss.

All right, I'm home.

Charge!

Felix, Marie, be careful.

- I'm hungry!

- The meal is almost ready, boys.

What are you doing?

Give it to me. It's heavy.

I feel guilty, but

since you don't come often.

And since I look after the children,

I had to buy a double bed.

- But this is your room.

- It used to be.

The green one goes in here.

- Have your husband try it.

- Thank you.

- So you also drink now?

- It's a family thing.

Don't play the wiseboy with the boss

tomorrow. Just see what he wants.

You could easily be the wiseboy there.

- There's nothing I can do, if people

don't understand what I say. -Please!

I do mean it.

He's no professor of yours.

Working and studying are not the same.

You have to be formal.

I know. I've done an internship already.

The interview at the headquarters

was alright. No problem.

He's been trained for interviews

that are harder than this.

The boss is just a small company,

he won't intimidate you.

He could be a boss, or whatever.

But we need him.

I'm just a temporary employee.

A good reason to be prepared.

I am prepared.

Good job! I was nervous.

Are you happy?

- Being a bit nervous is quite normal.

- I don't know- May be.

You look fine.

Let me see- This is really becoming.

Quality stuff. You look handsome.

- You look fine in a suit.

- You say so, mom.

Really, I swear it.

- Do I look adequate?

- You look just fine.

- Your a handsome boy.

- Thank you, mom.

So long, son. Good luck.

- Good morning, Alain.

- How are you?

- Ready?

- Yes.

Ready for a well-off job.

Congratulations.

Patrick, this is my son.

- He'll work at the offices.

- Great.

- How much is your bike?

-3.000 francs.

That's not cheap.

- It's cheaper than a car.

- You're right.

We arrive 15 minutes earlier

every morning.

We take coffee,

we do some jokes.

A better way to start your day.

- It's quite pleasant.

- You say so.

Also, there's a bonus for punctuality.

And I wouldn't reject a rise.

- If we keep talking, we'll be late.

- Right. Let's go.

- Let's go to work!

- We got five minutes more.

If we listened to him, we'll be there

- Good morning. Who are you?

- It's my son.

The boss will see him at 9.

I'm showing him around.

This is no zoo.

I don't care if he's your son.

Stop playing the cop. You have no right

to forbid him coming in.

No one asked you. Shove off.

I just wanted him to see my machine.

When he gets a permit,

you'll show it to him.

This is no circus.

I'll see the machine later, dad.

Go and wait in the room.

Don't be sore, I meant no offence.

These are the rules.

We mean to protect the workers.

Machines are dangerous.

If they distracted, there could

be a serious accident.

I see, I just wanted

to be kind to my father.

If you feel so, go over,

under my responsibility.

- Careful, presses are dangerous.

- All right. I appreciate.

Did they let you in?

This is my machine.

You place the part in here.

The welder is over there.

The pin is placed automatically.

You place the top part.

With practice, you can do

Did you stay up late?

Your rhythm is lower.

What do you care!

You do some work for a change.

Don't worry. I've already done

my part.

That's better. I've got

to shake you more often.

I'm leaving.

A very impressive resume.

Notable.

I'm honored that you chose Human

Resources. I'll be your boss.

- Welcome on board. Really.

- I appreciate.

However, you picked a most

delicate matter.

- The 35 hours stuff won't be easy.

- I'm not afraid of that.

You know the company.

From the outside, maybe.

That's why I've chosen it.

It means too much for me.

I grew up at the shadow of the company.

My father's been working

here for more than 30 years.

My sister works here.

I used to spend my holidays

at the company's kid club.

In Christmas...

From the inside, things don't

look that perfect.

Surely you've heard that.

Last year, we had to dismiss

It was hard.

It was not an easy thing to do.

Today, business are doing good,

things have improved.

And they want the 35 hours.

They say it's good for employment

and competitiveness.

How? No one knows.

There will be no new jobs here.

- Our balance, is very uncertain.

- Stop it, Chambon.

Don't get him be scared

about that uncertain balance.

- This is Frank Verdeau, our new

intern employee. -Don't stand up.

Did I disturbed you?

We were talking about

the 35 hours a week.

- Very interesting. What's your opinion?

- What do I think?

I like to see my collaborators

have convictions.

This is a broad subject.

You can expose it from various angles-

From an economic point of view,

or in terms of social perspectives.

Forget about books.

I'm sure that you know the lesson.

Personally, what do you make of it?

I don't want to scare you, I know

that some businessmen oppose to it.

Now, there's hardly a thing

that could scare me.

I'm persuaded that the 35 hours a

week are an important challenge...

because they will change our

perspective on certain concepts...

that had never been questioned.

- Is this a message?

- No way.

I hope that negotiations

on work hours...

will respond to the worker's

opinion about the company.

It would be interesting

if they had some of the responsibility.

That's not an easy thing to do.

It would be a real mess

I never said it would be easy.

Work hours have to be

organized globally.

Less but better work will be done.

I find it a real challenge.

It's exciting, because nothing

has been said.

Perfect. We play and we win together.

Look. My brother is real handsome.

How is it going?

Anyway, have a nice day.

You never said you had

a brilliant son.

- I didn't have the chance to talk to you.

- Don't be so humble.

It's got merits, because you studied

quite a lot. But this is not usual.

Don't be humble. Congratulations!

Really.

- Thank you, Mr. Rouet.

- Good job.

Go on working.

We are busy, as well.

Have a good day. Bye.

Come on.

- What did you do today?

- Not much. It was the first day.

- Did you work?

- I didn't have time.

I put my things on my desk,

I organized it.

- You got a desk for you?

- Sure.

That's not fancy.

Also, I had lunch at the canteen.

Not bad, uh, dad?

I was supposed to go with the boss,

but he had lunch with a supplier.

With that much eating,

he's overweight.

He also eats at the canteen.
