Workers at a small business are forced to choose between a cash bonus or allowing a young woman on leave for depression to have her job back. Most choose the bonus, but the woman visits each of them over the course of a long weekend to plead her cause. She gets a wide variety of reactions: some are immediately sympathetic and change their vote, some ignore her, others are violent. It's an interesting glimpse at the lives of everyday working people in suburban Belgium.
