(Pete Ohs, 2024, 74 min., DCP)
Diane arrives at the shoe factory looking for a job. She meets the boss, nails the interview, and gets hired on the spot, immediately joining a small team of co-workers led by a helpful Texan named Fox. She’s great at her job but before her first day of work ends, the factory gets shut down, the boss is in big trouble, and all the employees are suddenly unemployed. Because in this world, manufacturing is prohibited and it’s illegal to employ or be employed. That means no jobs. Unfortunately, Diane and Fox love to work. Together they seek employment and, in the process, fall in love. But balancing love and work is easier said than done.
