Understated, with a subtle but vicious political and social critique, and wonderful camera work. Simply marvelous.

Beautifully shot, captures a monotonous yet intimate vignette of the relationship amongst people within the working class. The tone switches between funny and serious throughout making hard to figure out the message behind the heavy political themes. Over all concise and well done slice of life. Excellent score!
