Signs of Life

This film from 1989 explores values within a community of people who have worked together in a boat factory. The problem confronted in the plot is not the fact that the factory must close for lack of customers but rather how each of the co-workers must deal with that closing in the context of their personal relationships outside the shop. The acting/directing is flawless. Part of the plot hangs on a mystical solution, but it is handled well enough to make it believable. The values of the story like values in any human relationship are both bad and good, but the message is positive and possibly more important in terms of the art of film, the whole package is a wonderful entertainment.
