Turtle Sitting

The story follows two workers, Esther and André, who are laid off from their jobs at a fish deep-freezing factory. They accept a temporary position caring for the turtles of an affluent couple while the owners are on vacation. However, the allure of the luxurious surroundings leads them to neglect their responsibilities in favor of leisure activities.

As they spend their days in the garden and eventually take off to join a group of fishermen by a lazy river, the film offers a unique look at the contrast between work and relaxation. With its blend of comedy and drama, Turtle Sitting presents a nuanced narrative that resonates with anyone familiar with the desire to escape the grind of everyday life.
