After the health crisis, a difficult return to work is looming. Bankruptcies and mass layoff plans linked to the epidemic are starting to come one after the other. How will the French, who were already struggling to make ends meet despite working full-time, get through this? Employees, shopkeepers, small business owners, our teams have been following these men and women who are fighting to save their jobs or small businesses since spring. Portrait of a hard-working and courageous France, which despite everything remains hopeful. In Isère, Alexia, 30, had just completely renovated her hair salon when Covid-19 arrived. A very smart shop that she had to close for two months while paying the bills for the work. To try to save her business and the jobs of her two employees, Alexia decided to take a second job, at the factory, three nights a week. A well-paid job, but exhausting. Between the salon, her night job and a little time for her five-year-old son whom she raises alone, how long will Alexia be able to hold out? In Indre, Denis and his wife Nathalie, 54 and 50, have been order pickers at "La Halle" for around thirty years. Two months of lockdown have taken their toll on the clothing store chain. These parents of two teenagers already had to find acrobatic solutions to make ends meet and pay off their mortgage. They are now faced with the threat of double layoffs. How can they manage this uncertain future and their children's anxiety? Laurent, 52, runs a small factory in Val d'Oise. He is a subcontractor for the automotive and construction industries, sectors that have been badly affected by the health crisis. The business owner was able to keep his factory running during the lockdown because his order book was well-stocked. But since March, nothing. He can't even reach his customers anymore. So the boss, a former turner-miller, fights like a lion to not lay off his ten employees and keep the company he created afloat. At only 22, Alexandra is one of those French people who didn't count their hours during the lockdown. A home help in the south of France, she has enabled dozens of vulnerable people to stay at home. Alexandra hoped that the way her job is viewed would change after the crisis, but the lack of recognition is hard to come by. And her salary isn't great. With a thirty-hour-per-week contract, the young woman only earns 1,000 euros gross per month. For Alexandra, the start of the school year is going to be difficult: her partner Julien had just left his job to start his own business when the virus arrived. Parents of two young children, will they manage to overcome the economic tsunami that is coming? Director: Clara Mazuir and Jean Charles Doria
