A mid-level saririman has his job downsized and we get to watch his family life gradually come undone. Played for very black humor. At first this seems conventional but after an hour or so the weirdness sets in and takes us in directions we never would have predicted. In fact it is the very ordinariness of these people's lives and the changes they undergo that makes the humor work.
To cap it off the eventual resolution is a quite conventional sweet note...preposterous but sweet. Nice work.
