The Case Nathalie

When Nathalie, a single mother, loses her job, her family spirals into poverty. Not because of misfortune, but because of a system built on distrust. Over three years, her life is consumed by bureaucracy and control. In this cinematic reconstruction, Nathalie revisits her Kafkaesque nightmare with those who shaped it, from social workers to politicians, exposing how a well-intentioned welfare state can become a machine of humiliation and despair.
