Claire (Kayije Kagame from Saint Omer, IFFR 2023) is an ambitious businesswoman working in La Défense, but the cold corporate environment amplifies her loneliness, pushing her to the verge of breakdown. The office is a prison and the only way out is to burn it down. A psychological horror, with a 1990s-inspired noir aesthetic, with To Exist Under Permanent Suspicion Valentin Noujaïm offers a genre-blending glimpse into the microaggressions Black women face in the workplace.
