string of often hilarious vignettes and picture-perfect portraits, including: an encounter with a
hyper-petty bureaucrat, a once fat schoolmate become skinny actress; a lovely but senile old lady and
her armchair; and a beautifully portrayed old man in a bar. A hugely enjoyable film. Don't miss it!
