Pelchat
After the local factory shuts down, a dejected blue collar worker is forced
to grapple with being unemployed, maintaining his dignity in front of his family
and his own despairing thoughts. He fleetingly grasps onto mundane tasks and
rituals to occupy his time in this beautifully poetic and moving elegy to hard
times.
