Arthur, Beatrice, and Clara work at a creative agency.
Arthur is highly submissive to his creative director, executing every instruction immediately and without question. However, he is frequently patronising and dismissive towards the office cleaners and junior interns.
Beatrice and Clara are designers on the same team. When the creative director demands that they work unpaid overtime over the weekend, Beatrice immediately refuses, citing her personal plans. Following Beatrice's refusal, Clara also refuses to work the weekend, and they leave the office together.
