Karine and Jimmy are a close-knit couple, still deeply in love after twenty years together and two children. She works in a factory; he is a truck driver striving to grow his small business. When the Yellow Vests movement emerges, Karine is swept up by the power of the collective, the anger, and the hope for change. But as her commitment intensifies, the couple’s balance begins to falter.
