Promotion canapé (English: Casting couch) is a French comedy film directed by Didier Kaminka.
The French phrase refers to attempting to make progress at work through romantic interactions with one's manager(s).
Two young women move to Paris to work at the PTT realize that it is easier to climb the career ladder by sleeping with their superiors.
The two friends pass out, but during their first day of work, their colleague Carole sets a trap for them as she is jealous of Catherine's relationship with their line manager.
They discuss it in a restaurant, where Catherine explains that she is on the black list of social services, which they need to get a cheap apartment, and therefore Françoise has to go there.
This man, André, introduces Françoise to his friend Bernard, a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications.
Loubeau therefore decides to cancel the visit, and prepares to return to the ministry when he discovers that Françoise, the woman he saw at the restaurant earlier, is part of the team.
They finally find a dispensary, and ask the doctor to call the Prefecture, Loubeau identifying himself as the Post Minister.
Loubeau and Françoise hijack it, but the postman manages to get into the truck and stops it in the middle of nowhere, wanting to drop off the two strangers.
During this 'meal', they discover that the meeting that the postman cites as the reason why he can't bring them to Fort-de-France is linked to the independence movement in Martinique, which is struggling to gain media attention, just like Loubeau.
She then goes to the office of her friend Catherine - now Director, who has just invited a new employee to spend the weekend with her in Trouville, a French seaside resort.
