If you loved Mentes brillantes, try Un trabajo en serio
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 Thomas Lilti, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mentes brillantes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Un trabajo en serio is
Benjamin, a PhD student past deadline, takes a middle school subbing gig to avoid his parents' pity. His first class is a rodeo of thrown paper and existential questions no seminar prepared him for. Some saintly coworkers later, he’s grading papers with reluctant respect.
