Wednesday January 12 the film “Ouistreham” comes out. A work based on the book by journalist Florence Aubenas. This story tells about the daily life of the housekeepers on a ferry.
In Ouistreham, Juliette Binoche is Florence Aubenas, the famous journalist who put herself in the shoes of a cleaning lady working on the ferries, for the needs of her book entitled Le quai de Ouistreham. “She runs to the right, to the left, doing two hours here, an hour there, in conditions of cold or exhaustion. Our society should really support them a little more. It’s really survival“, testifies Juliette Binoche, the main actress of the film.
For the sake of truth, the filmmaking team decided to call in real workers in a state of precariousness. On screen, they interpret their own lives, and show “the arduousness of the work“to the general public. “We are not flower pots. Often that’s it, we pass by, but not even a hello, nothing“, testifies Evelyne Porea, one of the housekeepers appearing in the film.
