A Real Job
2001, English. Directed by Ana Barredo.
Work to live or live to work? That's the question facing 38-year-old underachiever John (Paul Kolsby). When he meets the love of his life, Denise (Sharon Repass), he decides to leave his dream job as a video store clerk for a "real job" in the corporate world. But John soon finds office life uninspiring, especially when the demanding hours keep him away from his girlfriend.
