Under Stress

SYNOPSIS: Maria after having studied for many years, she attempts for the first time in her life to enter the corporate world. She confronts a series of incidents that put into question her dreams and her ambitions. Strict and is some cases cruel behaviour of the Human Resources employees along with unfair competition developed by other applicants set Maria against her beliefs and raise moral issues she had never considered before. No matter how much she strives to prove her abilities and qualifications, in the end, she must give an answer to the dilemma, compromise or integrity. Director’s statement “under stress” is a film for a generation striving to prove that deserves a lot more than what it gets. A film about my generation.
