Synopsis
Vigo lives a life he hates. He spends all day slaving away at a warehouse, having to put up with impossible demands from his higher ups and colleagues he hates. When the workday is finally over, he has to pay the bills, deal with increasing debts and provide a somewhat normal life for his younger sister and his girlfriend, the relationship with which grows more strained and opressive as time goes on. Things change when he meets Marija, a high society college student, with whom he starts a whirlwind romance with, gaining a whole new world of possibilities in the process. But, as time goes on, his facade begins to slip away and Vigo is forced to get into increasingly deeper criminal waters to sustain his image.
Our Review Editorial
Vigo's days are warehouse drudgery and impossible demands; his nights are debt, a younger sister to support and a relationship curdling into something oppressive. Then Marija arrives, a high-society student who opens a door onto a world he was never invited into, and he walks through it wearing a version of himself he cannot afford. The film follows the price of that performance as he wades into steadily deeper criminal water to keep the illusion funded.
Class-anxiety dramas and slow-tightening crime stories are the reference points, and viewers who like watching a character dig his own hole with total conviction will be gripped. At seventy minutes it is unusually lean, which suits the trap-closing structure and keeps the dread efficient. Expect grim realism, romance used as accelerant, and little comfort along the way. Recommended if you want something short, sharp and quietly devastating.
