Each
week, in three Parisian public hospitals,
a psychologist and two doctors are
treating men and women who are suffering
from work related problems. An assembly
line worker, an agency manager,
a state enrolled nurse and a shop
manageress… In turn, during
some unique interviews, these four
people tell us about their problems. The
three medical specialists listen
to them and gradually establish
the relationship that exists between
the individual distress of their
patients and the new forms of work
practises. Through the intimacy,
the intensity and the truthfulness
of these ordinary dramas, filmed
in a real life situation, the film
questions the way in which suffering
in the world of work has become
an everyday feature of life. With
a cinematographic approach, Ils
ne mouraient pas tous mais tous étaient
frappés unveils and
gives perspective to an invisible
and yet silent reality that usually
takes place behind closed doors:
the untold work related suffering. |
