I stumbled upon The Trader on Netflix. The trader's highway drive seemed long, so I was ready to click off until The Trader got to his first stop, where he bought goods to take and trade for potatoes. From then on, I was mesmerized. This short film not only is worth watching because it shows you another way of life, it shows you that, despite the completely different lifestyle from that in the U. S., one of hard, endless work and poverty, there is also the whole gamut of emotion from vanity to hope with laughter and love. The children are joyous over the smallest things - like a man blowing bubbles.
This film will make you dance to the warmth of your home, bubble up in happiness while drawing a bath, snuggle into your freshly washed sheets. As for the food in your refrigerator and the leisure time you have, you will almost keel over in appreciation.
