The film delves into the lives of non-professional workers like "agents d'entretien" (cleaning staff) and highlights the social and economic challenges they face, emphasizing the disconnect between different social classes.The film also touches on themes of deception, as the protagonist, Marianne, hides her true identity as a journalist, paralleling the social invisibility of the workers she writes about.
