Synopsis

David Kolski oversees the construction of the highest tower ever built in France. Promoters’ constant pressure, crushing delivery delays, overworked employees... David lives in a hurry.
One night, while returning home for dinner, he meets a woman of astonishing beauty who captivates him. He is mesmerized.
This woman is Victoria. Ambitious and intelligent, beautiful and independent, human resources director for a multinational company, she runs her life as the ones of her employees, with an iron hand.
Immediately, David also finds himself trapped in this fascinating system...

The film will be distributed in France by The Jokers.

Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"The Victoria system tells a gripping and modern, and also universal story about how individuals are manipulated in their human relationships by capitalistic endeavours. We are convinced that the film will attract buyers in Europe and abroad especially with its brilliant cast including Damien Bonnard."
