SYNOPSIS
A short film produced by the National Fire Brigade, focusing on public safety through the story of a residents’ association meeting, where a vote for or against safety maintenance work becomes the deciding factor that saves a tenant’s life. A narrative strongly reminiscent of dark comedies, where the cynic—unlike the audience—remains unaware that their very life was saved thanks to that vote.
