This silent masterpiece has become a modern classic in the world of animation, winning more than 100 international awards for its unique storytelling and thought-provoking themes. Without using any dialogue, the film presents a surreal world where human beings are literally used as everyday objects and services—such as lamps, chairs, mirrors, and transportation. Through this unsettling yet creative concept, the film delivers a powerful commentary on the dehumanizing effects of capitalism and modern labor systems. It explores how people can lose their individuality and dignity when society treats them merely as tools for productivity and convenience. With its minimalist animation style, dark humor, and emotionally striking atmosphere, *The Employment* leaves a lasting impact while encouraging viewers to reflect on the value of human life and work in contemporary society.
