"Marta, venticinquenne laureata con lode in filosofia, dopo una serie di tentativi falliti ripara come addetta al call center della Multiple, azienda che vende elettrodomestici al telefono. Quello che all'inizio sembra un lavoro tutto positività, fatto di danze motivazionali e premi per i più meritevoli, nel giro di breve tempo rivela il proprio inquietante rovescio della medaglia: un ambiente composto da impiegati invasati, plagiati e succubi di un sistema spietato. La testimonianza segreta di Marta ai sindacati darà vita a un'iniziativa pubblica di denuncia, mettendo a repentaglio la posizione di molti. . . " --From container.

Summary:Surreal and bittersweet snapshot of life in contemporary Italy. Marta (Isabella Ragonese) is a cum laude college graduate who has finally entered into the real world. Though she's eager to land a job in publishing, a series of dead end interviews ultimately prove so disheartening that Marta winds up working as a live-in babysitter for harried single mom Sonia (Micaela Ramazzotti). During her down time, Marta begins temping at a call center run by a merciless micro-manager (Sabrina Ferilli) with an eagle eye for details. At first Marta was fairly forgiving of her humorless boss, catty co-workers, and pushy customers, though before long the reality of her misery becomes much too obvious to deny. Later, Marta crosses paths with a fiery union worker (Valerio Mastandrea) his passion and charisma inspires the disgruntled worker to divulge all of the company's unsavory business practices.
