This little film reminded me of the tagline for the well-known movie, The Shawshank Redemption, with Morgan Freeman:
"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."
The film is a comedy set in an LA office, in the nineties. The place seems deserted except for a couple of unfortunate character with no purpose in life. Sinolicka is a young woman that is brought to the estranged place as a temp. Like a fish out of water, she struggles to find her place in the office vacuum and discovers that only her dreams and hopes can help her go through the endless days.
Funny and witty, this is a movie that everyone that has "served time" as a temp can identify with.
