A film about the misadventures of France MP3, a start-up company specializing in musical e-commerce. After a year of euphoria the turnover was very weak, the losses increasing and the investors beginning to get impatient. The company managers had no choice but to begin to lay off staff. The human cost was more painful and everyone was forced into an every-man-for-himself position. Beyond the failure of these micro-companies that heralded an economic revolution thanks to the Internet, the film in particular deals with the accelerated individualization of work relations, a situation these new companies typify.
