About

*Best Screenplay – Venice Film Festival 2025.

Paul gives up his successful career as a photographer to devote himself to his true passion: writing. However, his books fail to sell as well as he had hoped, his finances begin to dwindle, and self-doubt starts to creep in. To make ends meet, he takes on handyman jobs, which at first prove rather humbling but eventually provide inspiration for his writing. AT WORK is an intimate portrait of the price of artistic freedom and the vulnerability of a Parisian artist.
