Tight Skin

1982 · 92 min

A frantic, funny snapshot of daily grind and family chaos, where every small frustration escalates into absurd shouting matches.

Overview: At 56 years of age Mita Pantic is still only a junior clerk in his company. Another typical workday for him is starting at 6 a.m. as frustration awaits at every turn from the moment he gets up. Trying to get ready to go to work, he can barely get a turn to use the bathroom in the crowded apartment. Other members of the household are not without their frustrations either, meaning that nagging and shouting are a staple of their home life at any time of day.
