Placido
Comedy
In a small Spanish town, during the Christmas holidays, a group of rich old ladies organize a peculiar event that consists of inviting a homeless person to sit down to dinner at their wealthy table. Plácido, a humble worker, is hired by the organizers to participate in a parade with his three-wheeled vehicle, a seemingly simple mission that will not be easy for him to accomplish.
VIBE
This film feels like a sharp, uncomfortable jab at societal hypocrisy. It's a darkly funny, yet ultimately bleak look at the chasm between the wealthy and the poor, disguised as a holiday charade. The humor is as biting as it is absurd.
