The award-winning short film El Empleo (The Employment) by Santiago ‘Bou’ Grasso & Patricio Plaza is a witty, thought-provoking look at the absurdity of modern working life. With no dialogue at all, the film relies on sharp visual storytelling and dry humour to reveal a world where people literally serve as objects — from doorstops to lamps. It’s both funny and unsettling, a mirror to how routine and conformity can strip away our individuality.
