The Fessenheim nuclear power plant will stop all activity in 2020 with the shutdown of the first reactor in February and the second in June. The ultramodern flagship of nuclear energy when it was built in 1977, became a symbol of danger. But the oldest of French nuclear power plants employs 850 employees from EDF and 350 employees from subcontracting companies. It also ensures the municipality of Fessenheim, a prosperity out of the ordinary. For forty years, the inhabitants of the village oppose a silent reserve in the face of fiery national polemics. From the mayor Claude to the union leader Jean-Luc, to the concierge Jennifer and the environmental activist Gabriel, all are worried about their future, fearing to be abandoned. Before the time of reconversion, the negotiations remain difficult between the commune and the french State.
