Une saine inquiétude Corinne Klomp | | | | The advertising director of a big daily newspaper commits suicide at work. The story flashes back in time to find out what drove her beyond the point of no return. Was it the arrival of a ‘cost killer’ hired to nip any expenses in the bud? The abyss of incomprehension that was growing between her, her collaborators and clients? Or her romantic relationship that had turned into a dead end?
Monologues outside the chronological storyline are mingled in with the narrative, showing what the protagonists of the drama once were and what they will become. Flesh and blood human beings with their own joys and weaknesses, they resemble one another but cannot get along, occupied with resisting on their own while flouting human capital.

| “I know the ruthless corporate world well. Before devoting myself to writing fiction I worked for a financial newspaper and had a similar job to the heroine in my play.
I was lucky not to be subjected to any harassment, but I witnessed a number of abuses that had a powerful effect on me. In Une saine inquiétude I condemn the scourges of dehumanization and the race for profits. Day after day human capital (the only kind worthy of the name) is trampled, sometimes to death, and all for the sake of a handful of shareholders. Going beyond anger I have tried to reach for a note of hope. There is no such thing as fatality, and companies are not doomed to be places where people suffer. If the various actors involved would decide once and for all to get back to a collective spirit and move forward together, they could at last be more ‘productive,’ worthy and alive.”
