The Winners

Yan, a bank clerk notorious for his rigid adherence to rules, is seen as an eccentric by his easygoing colleagues. When the police stage a mock robbery drill at his branch, Yan volunteers to play the robber. Approaching the role with deadpan, bureaucratic precision, he turns a routine exercise into an absurdly high-stakes siege, meticulously following a robber's protocol to the letter and forcing everyone—coworkers and police alike—to confront the absurdity of their own procedures.
