Not a Personal Life

2022 · 1 season

A scrappy, deadpan farce about proud people making terrible decisions, watching their small world spiral with grim comic momentum.

Overview: An ordinary provincial family huddles in a small apartment with carpets on the walls. The head of the family is forced to save on everything in order to feed his wife, son and nephew. Therefore, the appearance of a "Maybach" in the next of kin is an extraordinary event. However, the righteous desire to give relatives a ride in a premium car does not end well: the car ends up in the river, and the grief-stricken family is in debt to the main city bandit, whom even the local police are afraid of.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, dark and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, class, crime, greed
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
