The Unemployment Club (El club del paro)

Directed by David Marques
Spain
2021
83 mins

Every morning, without fail, four friends meet in a bar to have a few beers and fix the world in their own way: criticizing and ranting against everything and everyone. The only thing they have in common is that they are all polar opposites of each other. And they are unemployed, well... all but one of them.

The Unemployment Club is a hilarious feature adaptation of director David Marqués' famous short film El Club del Paro (13).
