🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs an intimate drama that relies on the gritty authenticity of its domestic details and the protagonist's quiet desperation. It explores not the crisis itself, but the arduous process of adapting to a new, impoverished reality where every day is a financial and emotional calculation.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of the fragility of ordinary life and the quiet horror of starting over from zero. A sobering look at the social fallout of personal collapse. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Ivano De Matteo
