The story

In Haute-Savoie, Berthier, a precision-machining factory, is on the verge of being bought by an Anglo-Saxon pension fund. The prospective buyer plans to cut jobs afterward to increase profitability. Cédric, an employee at the factory, proposes to two friends that they form their own investment fund and attempt to buy the business through a leveraged buyout. Their plan requires them to raise more than €40 million, a daunting obstacle as they try to prevent the takeover.
