If you loved El empleo, try El árbol de los zuecos
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Ermanno Olmi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El empleo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El árbol de los zuecos is
A peasant family in 1900s Lombardy faces subsistence farming while debating whether to educate their son. A broken wooden clog becomes the crisis that tests every fragile decision. The film’s quiet endurance comes from its cast of non-actors and Olmi’s unflinching gaze at rural poverty.
