Běžná selhání

Ordinary Failures

In ORDINARY FAILURES, the audience watches the slow decline of society while putting the onus on them to think about how they would reconcile their life as disaster looms over them and what happens when there is nothing they can do to stop it. The script centers on three women dealing with isolation, adolescence, and motherhood. These three concepts that initially caused hardship to the characters end up helping resolve what plagues them. The three finally get their lives together as the world goes to crap and are somehow relaxed amidst all this. Normalcy and what’s familiar bring comfort to people in crisis, and your ordinary failures are insignificant compared to the world’s fate. (Valerie Complex, deadline.com)
