    Trapped.

    Fabri develops his characters and their lives very well in the early moments of the film, who then becomes trapped while mining. The portrayal of their situation and the events going on in the world around them are interesting enough to keep the viewer's attention, but it's the relationships that develop between the different personalities and social types trapped in the mine that really intrigues. Political symbolism is rampant, and feminist and liberal undertones exist throughout the film. Overall, the film covers melodrama and comedy, and, to be honest, I really wanted to see what would happen. Although, depending on the English translation you get, the end might be totally given away...
