After Closing

The story

On a cold winter night, Chloé (18), a clerk at her family’s convenience store, stages a fake robbery with her girlfriend Rosalie in order to make off with the money from the store’s safe. The arrival of her uncle Marc (47), whom she hasn’t seen in two years, at the convenience store late that evening throws their plans into disarray. Marc is at the end of his rope. He doesn’t have a penny to his name and is willing to do anything to get his brother David, the convenience store’s owner, to come and see him so he can ask him for money.
