Synopsis
Having a child is not any easy job, unless you have valium or tranquilizer. ‘Pandemia’ is a satiric and grotesque story of the inflation of sad life complaints, unrealized personal and public ambitions, a situation in which children can often serve as a culprit, excuse or cheerful distraction. Inability to control oneself often ends up in controlling others.
