A Whole Life Ahead
25-year-old philosophy major Marta faces the ugly truth for many young Italians — a complete lack of career opportunities. While babysitting for single mother Sonia, she starts to work as a telemarketer, experiencing first-hand the fanatical and exploitative rat-race culture pushed on employees while quickly rising through the ranks of the company. Around her revolve people like delusional supervisor Daniela, her womanizing boss Claudio, fragile coworker Lucio "2", and well-meaning but inconsistent union rep Giorgio.
This film captures the soul-crushing grind of modern employment with sharp wit and a surprisingly warm heart. It's a relatable, often funny, look at fighting for dignity in a system designed to break you, fueled by sharp dialogue and a cast that feels lived-in.
