SANDRA GETS A JOB (Sandra saab tööd)
Kaupo Kruusiauk, Estonia, 2021
96 minutes, In Estonian with English Subtitles
North American Premiere

Sandra (Mari Abel) is a Doctor of Physics who unexpectedly loses her job in research. Searching for a new position seems easy at first, but soon turns into a tragi-comic farce as Sandra meets a long line of odd characters — from grotesque entrepreneurs to cocky start-up managers — on the endless job interviews she now has to go on. The usually careful and thoughtful Sandra finds herself having to sink or swim in a world of hypocrisy and strange power structures. As pressure from her parents — both successful scientists in their own right— mounts, she is suddenly faced with the reality of having to adapt in order to secure employment, or remain true to herself.
