The stories were actually great. They really stick with you.

The bomb scene and the wedding were my favorites.

Anyone want to chat about it?🙂

That first story hit way too close to home, bringing back memories of that plane crash, and the second-to-last one? It was basically a masterclass in covering up a murder, just like how they handled everything surrounding Hodakov’s daughter. 😢

For me, the absolute standout has to be the crime of passion episode 🤣... honestly, the sheer vividness of it felt like a total fever dream, almost like stepping right into Darrell’s nightmare from U-Turn. 🙂

Yeah. That first story feels almost prophetic. It would’ve been funnier if we weren't dealing with actual plane crashes in the present day.
Crime of passion is top-tier. It shows how one tiny stupid mistake can spiral into something horrific. Plus, we all lose our minds in traffic anyway.

The wedding was pure romance.

I totally felt for the bomber when he tells the officer he’s just a cog in the machine, and then realizing the guy working for the criminal is just as guilty. I can't stand public service and their damn mindless rules. Sometimes I just snap and go off on them.

That penultimate one with the car wreck felt a little off. The kid needed more screen time.

The story is where this movie really shines.

I thought the wedding sequence was brilliant—it tied everything together perfectly—though I hesitate to say the whole film felt "complete" since the plot doesn't quite wrap itself up neatly, but the storytelling and acting were top-notch.
I was totally hooked by the subplot involving the accident and the bribery, and I actually enjoyed the third thread with those two guys even more. The bomber story fell just a little short for me, mostly because that ending after his stunt left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.
That plane sequence? Phenomenal way to kick things off—super impactful—but honestly, it’s a bit too over-the-top to take seriously as anything else 😁, whereas the second storyline was easily the weakest part of the bunch.

A truly delightful and entertaining film

Where did you all catch this one? I’ve been scouring the usual sites, but I can't find any traces of it online.

AMC Theatres

To wedding story remains my absolute favorite. We see weddings depicted on screen so frequently, yet they are almost always incredibly tedious and predictable 👎

this isn't 😁

Just watched the first half, and man, this movie is wild! 🤣

That's the kind of wedding I’d actually show up for.🙂
They’re basically just two peas in a pod.🙂

Americans beat the hell out of ☕

It’s an exceptional film, though I suspect the third segment—the one involving those two men and their cars—is arguably the most compelling 😁. I found the penultimate story to be somewhat lacking, if I'm being honest.

Given the options, which of these scenarios feels like something that could actually manifest in our reality, and which strikes you as being entirely impossible?
They all feel rather surreal, even if none of them strictly fall under the umbrella of science fiction, I suppose.

Anything can happen in real life🙂
It probably has already happened, just with a few tweaks to the plot.

I dig how this strips away the mask on human nature in our boring, rule-obsessed world.
One tiny little thing sets off a landslide and everything just goes to hell.
It’s basically just proof of how people rise and fall, depending on their luck.

you ever wonder if a story about a miner would actually fly here? and by "fly," I mean actually make it past the gatekeepers over at the Department of the Interior without getting shut down by some bureaucrat?

not a chance, even if they tried ☕

...I mean, I’m always watching the highlights of these movies and just wondering how many films actually exist in this world, since every single one seems to have its own weird little vibe. And this one is just top-tier... did you guys catch how they basically baked the creators' personalities right into the animal characters? Like, apparently Gustavo medo, Matthew, and Esther are all condors (?), while Hugo, Peter, and Augustine make up this little trio of lions. 😁

Plane crashes, bombs, bribing witnesses, framing innocent people, and someone acting like a total jerk at a wedding...

Bold topics and an even bolder approach.
Original and powerful.

I actually finished the whole thing. To be honest, those last two segments didn't hit quite as hard for me as the first half did. Overall though, I really enjoyed it. There's a certain freshness to this movie; it has a vibe that feels totally different from your typical Hollywood production. 👍

Truly original and powerful.

I actually watched it today. I had uninstalled it about a month ago and completely forgot about it, but I stumbled upon this thread yesterday and decided to give it a watch today. 🙂

The movie is excellent—a real breath of fresh air. Every episode tells its own story, deeply tied to specific characters.
I think you could break the film down into six main character arcs:
The Pilot—a guy dealing with deep insecurities who decides to finally settle the score with everyone who ever looked down on him.
Food Poisoning—it explores the duality and whether certain punishments are truly justified. We see a clash of two philosophies here: a young woman who would try to resolve things through dialogue (likely involving some heated arguments), versus an old-school cook raised on traditional values who prefers to cut the problem out at the root.
The Maniac in the Aut—a depiction of a "normal" person who suddenly snaps (honestly, I think many people would act the same way, even if it seems strange to us) and goes on a rampage. The confrontation between them was phenomenal. 🙂
The Bomber—a man determined to take a stand against a corrupt system; the end of his arc offers a positive critique of how he chooses to confront that system.
The Aut accident—this was my personal favorite. It gets to the core of how far someone will go to protect or restore their reputation. It also highlights a cynical truth: in situations like this, teamwork is mostly an illusion. Everyone is ultimately looking out for themselves—like the lawyer and the gardener both trying to squeeze every last cent out of a wealthy client.
The Wedding—this part reminded me of the movie *Mountain Impossible* (if anyone remembers that one). As the plot progressed toward the end, tension just kept building and building. The ending is unusual, but brilliant nonetheless. 🙂 It feels almost like a catharsis, a cleansing for the newlyweds.

The film feels quite realistic overall. My only critique is that I’d call the pilot "over the top," though that might just be my interpretation, as the character itself felt very grounded.

I have to admit I’m feeling a little let down given all the glowing praise I've seen online, though I suppose I am still quite pleased with how fresh the concept feels and the overall originality of the content.

The segments involving the airplane, the parking situation, and the pregnant woman felt relatively weak to me, if I'm being honest. Personally, I found the "crime of passion" and the wedding stories to be the absolute highlights; those were truly a pleasure to follow.

7/10

I honestly can't stop thinking about that movie. 😁
The first episode leans just a little too much toward the trashy side, but that didn't kill my interest at all.
I'm actually seriously considering heading to the local AMC to catch it on the big screen.
