Beaujolais’s light, uplifting nature offers a counterbalance to the film’s serious themes of struggle and self-worth. Just as Sandra fights to reclaim her job and dignity, a glass of Beaujolais, with its vibrant fruit notes and refreshing acidity, embodies resilience and optimism. It’s a wine that invites reflection and perseverance, much like the protagonist’s journey over two pivotal days.
