The Assistant is a drama film that provides a stark, intimate look at a day in the life of Jane, a junior assistant at a powerful entertainment company.

The film captures the systemic nature of workplace harassment and the complicity that enables it, focusing on the subtle and pervasive power dynamics rather than overt action.
