[Prime Video] Denouncing the situation of evictions in Spain is necessary, especially when some banks celebrate 2022 record profits in their entire history (to the detriment of job stability and customer service). Although politicized at times (there are only references to a specific government), Juan Diego Botto's directorial debut is built in a balanced way but tries to be excessively doctrinaire, improving when it is more ambiguous (the lack of resources from the Social Services that forces them to make unsocial decisions). A cinema denounces that it has a tendency towards melodrama following the template of Ken Loach's social cinema, which pushes emotions in an even manipulative way, but sometimes finds safe paths towards its objectives.

Like a condom: not easy to get into and not really feel-good but it's important and gets the job done nonetheless. There's a card at the end of the film that states there are 100 evictions a day in Spain at present. On the Fringe looks at three of these in what feels more like an anthology film than a narrative (the different story lines don't intermingle) but the message still hits home.
