La demolición

Our cheery working world

Beto has decided to defend his job, where he has been working for 40 years, although the factory has been closed. Like a buddha he is sitting at his desk and continues working, even though the phones are not functioning anymore. One morning Osvaldo arrives, who hasn't got any steady job either and who has to pull down the building. A refreshing comedy about our working world and what is happening with it.

«Wie es der neue Film von Fernando Solanas, LA DIGNIDAD DE LOS NADIES, zeigt, gibt es in Argentinien eine Reihe von Betrieben, in denen die Arbeiter es geschafft haben, das Geschäft weiter zu betreiben, auch nachdem die Besitzer sich bereits abgesetzt hatten. Das heisst: Dieser Film hier ist keine reine Fantasie. Sanfter Humor und eine gut geführte Kamera halten die Sache in Fahrt.»
