I saw the short when visiting Delvin back in July, but have only now got
around to seeing it. I'm not sure what to make of this movie; the players
more or less directly represent a few kinds of people from a
lesser-developed-country: the expats, the downtrodden workers (one stuck in
the loop, one with the courage to break out of it), the mafioso, etc. and as
such fail to become characters. I fear my hardboiled cynicism blinds me to
the redemptive moments in it, for all I see is a whole string of pragmatic
decisions, none of which are principled or pretty. The leading actress is
luminous and there is some art in the cinematography.
