15:45 Min
SYNOPSIS
Joko is a young man supporting his entire family on a dead end factory job. One day on his way to work, someone jumps on his back, and orders him to transport them around the city. At first, he rebels against this humiliation, but relents under peer pressure and the promise of money. This new work slowly dominates him, mentally and literally, physically overcomes him. "JOKO" is a grotesque vision of the eternal exploitation and domination of man over man, full of absurd and macabre humor.
