A tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, and a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII, "The Workroom", t...akes place in the centre of Paris, in the workroom of a tailor shop owned by Jewish Eastern-European immigrants. It begins at the end of winter, a few months after the liberation of Paris. Léon and Hélène have reopened the workroom, and now employ Madame Laurence, the policeman’s wife; Gisèle, a character who seems to have stepped out of an Emile Zola novel; Mimi, a bubbly, Parisian young woman; Marie, full of youth and laughter, who dreams only of marrying and settling down; and Simone, a French Jew taking care of her two young children single-handedly after her husband was sent to the death camps in 1943. All these different destinies cross paths with one another and raise the same single question: how does one keep on living after the
trauma of the war and the Holocaust?
