Famed author Marianne Winckler (Juliette Binoche) goes undercover to investigate the exploitation of the working class in Northern France. She eventually lands a job as a cleaner on the cross-channel ferry and develops close connections with the other cleaning women, many of whom have extremely limited resources and income opportunities. As she learns more about the plight of these workers, Marianne struggles with her deception of them, rationalizing that it’s for the greater good.

A longtime passion project for star and Academy Award®-winning actress Juliette Binoche, Between Two Worlds is adapted from Florence Aubenas’s bestselling nonfiction work Le Quai de Ouistreham (The Night Cleaner), and marks Emmanuel Carrère’s return to directing for the first time since The Mustache in 2008.
