2023 · 164 min

A long, talky, bitterly funny trudge through gig-work drudgery that shifts into a quietly furious moral punchline.

Overview: On behalf of a multinational company, a production assistant drives around the Romanian city of Bucharest, interviewing various citizens who have been injured due to work accidents to cast one of them in a “safety at work” video.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, dark and cynical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Work, class, corruption, power
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
