A Real Job

There aren't any fancy shots, strong dramaturgy, or sound effects that give you goosebumps in this normcore movie. It's a slice-of-life story about a community of schoolteachers. The shaky camera gives us footage that feels like a news report or casual vlog posts, immersing us in the school's daily routine. For the first 20-30 minutes, I was wondering why I was even watching this boring stuff. But after an hour, I was fully drawn into that world. By the end, I wished it were a series. The director presents deep, complex characters who start to feel like your close acquaintances as the movie goes on. It's a portrait of European life without big dreams or solid actions, but with a quiet sense of honor and patience.
