CloseCould family ties be the ultimate blackmailing tool? Imagine you come from a small provincial town. Your family is short of money, so you build castles in the sky and hope they don’t come crashing down. And one day, your prayers are heard: you win a car in a contest and all you have to do in return is act happy in a juice advertisement. Easy, right? Wrong. There’s a big obstacle in the way to auto-fulfilment: your parents. They’ve taken the wheel before you even had a chance to figure out where you wanted to go.
Combining rich irony with familial acrimony, the film’s simple story magnifies the social tensions of a country embracing capitalism and all its shiny promises.
