Rebecca Zlotowski : 2013
Gary is young, agile and a quick learner. He's one of those who's never been promised anything. After a succession of odd jobs, he's taken on as a decontamination sub-contractor at a nuclear power plant in the lower valley of the Rhône. Inducted into the workforce by supervisor Gilles and veteran Toni, Gary discovers that radiation contamination is not just a risk factor but an everyday hazard. There, amongst the reactors and their high doses of radioactivity, he finally finds what he's been looking for: money, a team, a family. But the team also includes Karole, Toni's fiancée, with whom he falls in love and the two begin a passionate and illicit affair. The naively romantic Gary falls deeper into a web of fear and deceit, caught between his feelings for Karole, his friendship with Toni and the pressure of working in the radioactive conditions at the plant. Rebecca Zlotowski's second feature was winner of the François Chalais Prize when it premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2013.
