English title: The Good Life
Several stories that unfold separately but not without touching each other. A man wants a bank loan to buy a car but suddenly needs the money to provide his dead father's body with a proper burial ground. A social worker who assists women with high risk for sexually transmitted diseases discovers that her teenage daughter is pregnant. A prostitute with an infant child has to cope with AIDS. A clarinetist is rejected for a position in a philharmonic orchestra and then gets a job at an army band.
The idea of several stories in a movie has worked well before, but here I do not think it does. The stories do not seem to go anywhere interesting; the characters remain poorly defined; the ending to each story seems gratuitous.
