VENICE : The tension between labour and profit in globalised, market-oriented economies is at the centre of French director Stéphane Brizé's new film"Another World", the story of a plant manager who is asked by his bosses to lay off his own workers.

At home, his marriage is unravelling because of the pressures of his work. In the office, he is confronted by angry colleagues questioning his values and loyalties as he draws up a list of those set to lose their job. "It's a story about people who question their commitment, both at the professional and personal level," he told Reuters in an interview.

"I wanted to get out of the dichotomy, which is perhaps a little simplistic and comfortable, whereby you have bad managers who do bad things to the nice workers," Brizé said.
