Employee of the Month
After serving as a model employee at cleaning supplies company ECOCleanPro for nearly 17 years, Inès (Jasmina Douieb) knows she is long overdue for a raise. When she finally confronts her incompetent and misogynistic boss, he cruelly rejects the request while making a lecherous pass at her. New intern Mélody (Laetitia Mampaka) witnesses the incident and jumps in to help Inès, but in the process, both women suddenly and unexpectedly find themselves with blood on their hands. Spiraling more out of control by the minute, Inès and Mélody must conjure up increasingly maniacal solutions to cover their tracks — and clean up the mess.
"Bloody, mischievous and comedic" (Movie Buff), Veronique Jadin's EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH is a workplace romp with a deadly edge that deftly critiques toxic office culture while building to a "pitch-perfect" ending (Film Threat).
