Próxima Salida

The story follows the vicissitudes of several longtime railroad employees after the line they have worked on for years is shut down. The son of another employee who gave up and committed suicide plays a tangential but symbolically important role. I suspect those who will find this work most meaningful are viewers who are quite familiar with Argentina's economic context. The acting is quite persuasive; I found the cast very well chosen. As vignettes from the lives of these disparate men, it is surely enjoyable. As a piece of historico-socioeconomic analysis or commentary, the film, which showcases the slogan, "They can't close all the exits to us!," may seem a bit facile.
