Made In France

After all that time spent waiting for him behind bars, Émile has finally been granted a reduced sentence. From tomorrow, he will spend his days at the factory and his nights in a detention centre, enough to dream of an early release for good behaviour. The problem: the factory where he is about to work is relocating. Émile has no choice: to save himself, he must become the best trade unionist, save the factory, his colleagues and, perhaps, in the process, the entire country.

Made in France is a show that tells the story of men and women ready to do anything to save French industry… well… anything, except actually do something.
