Coûte que coûte
“Produce AT ALL COSTS ! Save the company AT ALL COSTS ! Even if we are not paid immediately, keep going AT ALL COSTS ! Find new customers AT ALL COSTS ! New suppliers AT ALL COSTS ! The film relates the story of a small, very young, company which prepares ready-to-serve dishes for supermarkets. The director and the employees engage in economic warfare with all the means at their disposal.” (Claire Simon)
