Thierry is unemployed. At the age of 51 and after almost two years of small humiliations in a search for work, he starts a new job that soon brings him face to face with a moral dilemma. How much is he willing to accept to keep his job? The Measure of a Man tells the story of a man and his conscience. Thierry will have to decide whether to stay and be an accomplice of an unfair system, or leave and return to a precarious and unstable life.
