Laure Calamy is exceptional in “A plein temps” by Eric Gravel.
Her role as a woman who raises her children alone in the countryside while dealing with her work in a Parisian palace once again commands admiration.
“
A plein temps
is designed as an action film and that's what I found exceptional, insists Laure Calamy, who never ceases to amaze.
Abandoned lover for
Antoinette in the Cévennes
which earned her a César, a prostitute in
Une femme du monde
, the actress is an overwhelmed mother in
A plein temps
by Eric Gravel.
Her performance as a single woman who raises her two children while dealing with a job in a Parisian palace was rewarded in Venice last September.
“My character runs after time like many women do, confides the actress to
20 Minutes
.
She shows incredible courage in the face of the daily struggle of people who have to fight to survive.
Eric Gravel follows her as closely as possible to highlight the incredible vital force of a mother living in the countryside but working in Paris, "without at any time playing the pathos card".
Like an action movie
The spectator runs in the footsteps of his character, sharing his anguish in the face of the worries that devour him.
The transport strike, uncomprehending employers, cantankerous colleagues and a tired nanny don't make her life any easier.
This woman gallops at the top of her lungs with the hope of one day finding a less stressful job without really having the possibility of devoting herself to her research.

“She lives several days in one, which is the case for many people, women or men, insists Laure Calamy.
The film talks about the worries of parents from single-parent families who struggle to combine everything.
Eric Gravel also lifts the veil on the very demanding job of chambermaids in a large hotel.
"She is all the more exhausted as her activity is very physical and the journeys between her place of work and her home are exhausting", specifies the actress who has undergone training to be able to perform the professional gestures of the protagonist in a way credible.
A true heroine
Laure Calamy's performance brings such intensity to the film that one does not get carried away from the first images in a real race against time.
“She goes through all kinds of states, insists the actress.
It takes on different faces depending on the circumstances, which was exciting to compose.
Throughout this kaleidoscope, the image that is imprinted by watching
Full Time
is that of the admirable bravery of a true heroine.
