Responsible
This Argentine production explores the anxieties and pains of loneliness in the modern world in a tongue-in-cheek way. Especially when he turns his main character into a mixture of one good man and another who exists by deception. And all this thanks to dark humor, which allows us to carefully analyze the differences between social classes, as well as prejudices.
Elysium (Guillermo Francella) is the concierge of a luxury building with two faces. On the one hand, he is an efficient employee who takes care of every detail of the lives of the various tenants. From collecting clothes to carrying groceries to the kitchen. The reliable Eliseo is an invisible part of coexistence in an exclusive condominium. But, on the other hand, this gives him almost complete power, which no one can suspect: this is manipulating neighbors at their discretion.
Part social drama and part twisted satire, The Manager explores how prejudice can sometimes be an unscrupulous person’s best weapon. And also be a reflection of the small daily struggles that anyone can face. Inconvenient morality? The big question that the series leaves behind.

Life, with its little horrors and great discoveries, is hope for the future. Even for the grumpy old man who rediscovers the taste of Milanese from childhood into the most chaotic period of old age.
