PROLL! | SHORT FILM | By ADRIAN FIGUEROA
Murat, Juri and Cornelia are among the so-called "working poor" - as click workers, in a cardboard factory and as freelance parcel deliverers, they are only linked by their low wages.
Each one fights on his or her own.

Awards:
Winner German Competition @ 67. International Short Film Festival Oberhausen
Special Mention @ Achtung Berlin - new Berlin film award
The jury statement Oberhausen:
A film about those down at the bottom. The low-paid, the stressed, the overlooked. The outstanding camera follows them closely, often intimately, we feel the pressure, see the sweat and the fear. And yet the characters remain at a distance from the observers, the film does not establish a sentimental commonality where there is no commonality. A film about the loneliness of our time.
The jury statement Achtung Berlin:
The film focuses on the system of work using the example of the parcel - from the folding of the cardboard boxes in the poorly running factory, to delivery, to the depressive reception in the eternal home office. No matter who the camera accompanies - there is always incessant ploughing, in all walks of life. (...) This is carefully researched, excellently acted, excitingly staged and immensely oppressive. We therefore give a special mention to Proll! by Adrian Figueroa.
