"Prud'Hommes" est une immersion au cœur d'un Tribunal dans lequel se règlent les conflits entre employeurs et salariés. Cette juridiction spécifique est un terrain de confrontation où s'expriment toutes les tensions, les souffrances et les révoltes qui traversent le monde du travail. En quête de justice ou de reconnaissance, des employés prennent la parole et font face à leur patron. Cette scène de théâtre d’un genre particulier nous plonge au cœur d'une véritable comédie humaine, reflet de la société d'aujourd'hui.
Every year thousands of conflicts are dealt with via a special jurisdiction process, the Tribunal des Prud'hommes, established in the 19th century to resolve management and labor disputes. It delivers a service that is swift, free, and accessible, with straightforward, primarily oral procedures. This court is a revealing social barometer, full of stories, dramas great and small. "Les Prud'hommes" crystallizes tensions, upsets, suffering and rebellions that are part of a rapidly changing, ever more brutal and complex world of work. For the first time in Switzerland, a camera crew has been allowed into the public galleries to film the Tribunal at work in Lausanne. The result is a caustic look at a very particular form of theatre, a play of words and emotions, bosses versus workers, accompanied, or not, by a lawyer or union representative. Amusing and moving by turn, the film takes us into the heart of the human comedy, that of contemporary society.
