The story of a young assistant witnessing the questionable conduct of her influential boss was inspired by Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse cases that had triggered the #MeToo movement.

Another day at the office. Jane, the new assistant to a powerful media mogul, is the first to arrive and the last to leave. She does her job, endures her colleagues’ hostility and applies herself to her pile of tasks with painstaking precision: printing out schedules, arranging travel, ordering lunch and tidying up her boss’s office. Without him even once putting in an appearance, his existence is nonetheless all-pervasive. We hear him on the other end of the phone reprimanding Jane; we also witness the array of attractive young women who are paying a visit to the company at his behest. Jane’s suspicions and discomfort spin out of control as it becomes clear that she is part of an abusive system.
 

 

/.../ Gibanje #MeToo (Jaztudi) se je osredotočalo na moške, plenilce, in ne na vprašanje, kako pritegniti več žensk v filmsko industrijo ter kako zagotoviti večjo varnost in nediskriminatornost delovnega okolja. To sem postavila v žarišče. Vemo, kaj se dogaja za temi vrati, o tem se je poročalo, ne poznamo pa kolesja, ki se vrti pred temi vrati, kulture, ki obdaja molk, zastrupljujočega delovnega okolja. Ob pisanju scenarija sem v ospredje postavila te drobne trenutke, ki žensko oropajo samozavesti, ki lahko spodkopljejo njeno prepričanost vase in jo pustijo brez poti navzgor ali naprej.
