Besides the meaningless jobs and how much lies we gather to make our own version of reality because the society we live in, is all about how great the company's culture is, or how great our work is, when in reality we are mostly often worker bees, we are not unique, in the aspect of doing something that can't be done by the majority. The monotonous jobs and repetitive script which predicts our lives and we think all this have a meaning, all these years we did something but it's.. just a way to pay the bills, nothing more attached to it. Another subject that it tackled was, that older generations can't really accept the ways of younger generations, it's a foreign concept for them but it doesn't mean that we just discard them, we still have to help them, understand that they are wired like that, we can help them in our own way. It's a sad story, depicting the state of the world, built on lies we ourselves crafted.

Jobs available for smart and young people are as meaningless as waiting endlessly for something pointless. This hit close to my heart because I'm freshly graduated from university and unemployed :( initially I thought, why does Nin doesn't do something productive in this HUGE warehouse? he could rent the place, maybe take an online course in the meantime, play some tunes, draw, study and so much more but... I guess that wasn't the point. This movie is not about making the best of the circumstances, it's more about resignation, which is very sad, but sometimes that's how life feels. It's a huge critique towards capitalism but at the same time it's very minimalist and soft. Beautiful.

My wife I found this movie by chance on Netflix and after we checked it had a good score at IMDB, we decided to give it a chance.

Although the movie is slow paced, the cleaver dynamics between the two main characters and the very good photography makes it a very enjoyable experience. It's at the same time unpretentious and witty.

I truly recommend this movie!

Both characters are brought together by life. Both have age and personality differences. At first, this is what one leads to believe that they won't be able to make it together. The young guy may appear to have aspirations and is inquisitive at first, something contrary to the older guy. By end of the movie, it makes the young guy change his point of view and this seems to,at first, disappoint the older gentleman, but later is okay with it. This movie is correctly tagged on Netflix partly as dramedy and deadpan. This movie was written by the same writer from the movie The Platform, another great movie.

This movie resonated with me for a few reasons -- the Netflix version had good Spanish subtitles, which is very useful for a language learner. More importantly, it captured how I felt when I started working in the "professional" world a few years ago. So much of it is pointless, almost religious ritual. Why do we do the things we do? I often wonder if it would matter if I stopped working entirely. Would anyone even notice? I guess this is more of an indictment of my work ethic than a movie review. Oh well, this one is worth a watch if you can handle a simple plot with complex characters.
