EXCLUSIVE: Trailer for Antoine Russbach's Those Who Work
- The director's Swiss-Belgian feature debut is set to world-premiere in Filmmakers of the Present at the 2018 Locarno Film Festival

Frank devotes his life to work. Hanging on his phone, he manages the cargo ships that he charters for large companies. While facing a crisis situation, Frank makes a brutal decision and gets fired. Deeply shaken, betrayed by a system to which he has given everything, he does some soul-searching to save the only link that still counts in his eyes: the one he managed to maintain with his youngest daughter, Mathilde.
