ELECTRICKS
"Electricity connects us, especially when it's stolen." An electrician takes a job to replace sockets, desperate for cash after months of unpaid invoices. In a young mother’s flat, he discovers an illegal electricity bypass left behind by her parents. For her, it means a debt of hundreds of thousands; for him, the impossibility of finishing his work. Should he walk away and look for money elsewhere, or help her through unofficial means? A drama about survival in a system that leaves both characters with no choice but to bend its rules.
