Diane arrives at the shoe factory looking for a job. She meets the boss, nails the interview and gets hired on the spot, immediately joining a small team of co-workers led by a helpful Texan named Fox. She's great at her job but before her first day of work ends, the factory gets shut down, the boss is in big trouble and all the employees are suddenly unemployed. Because in this world, manufacturing is prohibited and it's illegal to employ or be employed. That means no jobs. Unfortunately, Diane and Fox love to work. Together, Diane and Fox seek employment and in the process, fall in love. But balancing love and work is easier said than done.

Painted in bold, charming and unapologetic strokes, most films made with bigger budgets and bigger names could never dream of achieving what this confident, strange little treasure of a film does. Go to Full Review Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse 07/14/2024
The consistently light-hearted and rebellious tone...keeps the film from being entirely bleak, but they are positioned in such a way that they're pulling the societal curtain to the side to reveal a darkness we can't seem to completely escape. Go to Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry 03/05/2024
With his fourth feature film, Ohs has proven himself a master of creating unique screen stories with remarkably little on-screen frills—not to mention, refreshing short running times. Go to Full Review Christopher Cross Asynchronous Media 02/09/2024
4/5
A dystopian vision of utopian hopes, Ohs presents a clever, humorous thought exercise that is playful just as much as it is relevant. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 02/07/2024
At a breezy 74 minutes, the film is a welcome diversion, which by its own standards is what anyone should want out of life. Go to Full Review Nadine Whitney InSession Film 01/31/2024
A-
Ohs’ breezy and glorious romantic comedy is a trojan horse. He doesn’t want the audience working too hard to enjoy the film, but he has put in the work to make you love it . Go to Full Review Read all reviews
