Victor is sick of his job. It’s not that they don’t pay him well, because they do. But his boss is a horrible person, his coworkers are annoying, and when the office relocates one floor down, his desk is moved into the bathroom. He ought to be grateful, one of his coworkers tells him. He has all that space, while she’s stuck back in a cubicle. Victor tries to resign, but that turns out to be a lot more complicated that you might expect. Meanwhile, he’s struck up a friendship with building handywoman Eve as well as with the enigmatic and eccentric owner of the company (and the building), Mr. M. By turns achingly funny and wistful, this is a fable about being true to yourself in the face of the monolithic corporate world.
Screening with “Cog,” a peculiar short about the daily repetition in suburban life.
