Our take

Joaquin del Paso’s eccentric dramedy has an intimate understanding of capitalistic spaces and the futility of dismantling such oppressive constructs. Amidst forbidding assembly lines and cluttered offices, the characters behave like irrational, Buñuelesque captives to hilarious and chilling ends.
