Hard Labor
Streaming video - 2011
A middle-class couple slowly succumbs to the allures of entrepreneurship and the horrors of a schizophrenic job market. As Helena starts a new business venture, her white-collar husband Otávio is let go from his job. Determined to stay afloat, Otávio goes on a series of ego-crushing job interviews and is forced to adapt to the needs of a new economy. Helena, now the family’s breadwinner, discovers that the building housing her store has a sinister past. Nominated for the Golden Camera at the **Cannes Film Festival** and Emerging Visions Audience Award at the **SXSW Film Festival**. *"Hard Labor is a smart, sneaky little shocker whose subtexts add depth to its haunted-house framework."* - Noel Murray, ***Film Journal Internatio...nal***
