    Not bad, but certainly not great either

    This movie follows individuals from around the world who are all impacted by a series of events triggered by the economic crisis. While the characters' stories are interconnected, they are not in all cases familiar with each other.

    Due to the large number of characters, there is limited character development, resulting in a somewhat one-dimensional portrayal, with some characters bordering on cliché. Sometimes while watching

    At times, I got the impression that the scriptwriters were unsure of their target audience. The storyline presents a simplistic depiction of clashes between people's circumstances, with many events being predictable from a mile away.

    In my opinion certain scenes could have been omitted to enhance the realism of the story. Overall, the film was not bad, but it may be easily forgotten after viewing.
