See the films the platforms disagree about most →A long-unemployed factory worker finally secures a position as a security guard for a large supermarket. His relief is short-lived as the job requires him to surveil both customers and colleagues, enforcing strict corporate policies. He is forced to confront the moral compromises of his new role, witnessing the petty struggles of ordinary people. The film quietly observes the dehumanizing pressures of modern employment and the erosion of dignity.
