The Chairs Game

Director: Lucia Chiarla, colour, 120 min., 2016-18

A cinematic ode to the outsider in which a woman, Alice, who is unable to find a job, is faced with falling by the wayside in society. Within her personal sphere, she is more or less successful at maintaining the facade of an intact freelancer career. In truth, however, the only thing keeping her head above water are the petrol vouchers she gets as compensation for absurd jobs at market research institutes.
