L'inconvénient
Synopsis
Amid labor protests for better working conditions during the Industrial Revolution, Marie and her sister Louise struggle daily to survive in the harsh, precarious world of a cotton mill. When Louise seriously injures her hand on a machine, Marie takes radical, morally questionable actions to keep her from losing her job. In the process, while confronting coworkers and the foreman, she ultimately alienates her younger sister.
