Desassossego is an intriguing exploration of routine and the weight of familial expectations. The animation style is quite unique, blending surreal elements with a grounded narrative. Ivan, the main character, embodies this struggle—caught between the tradition of butchery and his unfulfilled dream of opening a furniture shop. The film’s pacing allows for some reflective moments where Ivan's internal conflict really shines through. You can feel the tension in his life choices, and it's palpable. The use of practical effects enhances the story’s atmosphere, making the dreamlike sequences all the more striking. It’s a thoughtful piece that lingers with you, long after the credits roll.
