the Routine

About This Movie

The Routine captures a slice of life during the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a middle-aged teacher. It’s a slow burn, really, focusing on the minutiae of daily life and the struggle to translate traditional teaching methods into a virtual format. The tension builds as we see the character's meticulous planning unravel, showcasing the fragility of routine in extraordinary times. The performances feel grounded, almost documentary-like, which adds to the authenticity of the experience. You get this interesting mix of vulnerability and determination, and the atmosphere is heavy yet relatable. It's not flashy—no big-budget effects here—but the emotional weight comes from the small, intimate moments that many can resonate with. There's a certain rawness to it that lingers long after the credits roll.
