🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a claustrophobic yet darkly comedic microcosm, relying on the sterile maze of skywalks and the absurdity of office life to explore a collective cabin fever. It captures the quiet desperation of characters trapped in a controlled, artificial ecosystem.

What lingers after the final frame is a sharp, witty satire on urban alienation and the human need for open space, even if it's just a gust of real wind. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch during a stifling lunch break, feeling mildly trapped, for full immersive effect.
