Young Domenico treks from his small village to Milan to interview for a “job for life” at an anonymous megacompany. There he gets to know a beautiful co-candidate (Loredana Detto) as well as the absurd and sadistic realities of office life. Olmi’s second feature balances a devastating critique of corporate culture with a humane realism attuned to emotional subtleties.
