![]() Thousands of Spanish children were taken from hospitals and sold to wealthy Catholic families, who raised them as their own. issued a vague warning in June to a number of European nations, including Germany, that the two Nord Stream gas pipelines that carry natural gas from Russia could be targeted in attacks, officials said. ![]() imposed economic sanctions on Russia, Moscow began withholding its natural gas, threatening the continent’s energy supply.īackground: The C.I.A. The pipelines have been a focal point of the broader confrontation between Russia and Europe. ![]() Top Polish and Ukrainian leaders blamed Moscow, while the Russian state media suggested U.S. Three separate leaks erupted from the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which were already caught up in the conflict over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sending swirling streams of methane to the surface of waters off Denmark and Sweden. After all, there are thousands of people out there who would currently kill for a tedious 9-5 office job – but that’s another movie, Señor.Gas leaks raise suspicions of Russian sabotageĮxplosions under the Baltic Sea and the rupturing of major natural gas pipelines from Russia to Germany appeared to be a deliberate attack, officials across Europe said yesterday, deepening uncertainty about European energy security amid soaring prices and fears of running short of fuel over the winter. It’s also possible that this is the wrong time for this wannabe-corporate-skewering comedy and jokes about tedious 9-5 office jobs. The endless graphics and animations as Omar talks directly to camera, for example, are pretty distracting, and almost make you think that he’s secretly some sort of Terminator. ![]() He also runs into kindly big boss Braulio (Fernando Becerril) in the elevator, and after a minor emergency, the old man grants him the chance to develop an app which he intends to be (gasp!) free.Īll this is moderately convoluted, but things take a more messy turn when Omar and Maribel start falling for each other after a mystifyingly-unsubtitled karaoke night, and thereafter there’s blackmail, deceit and indeed the mutiny/rebelión of the title, which is set to a horribly-synthesised version of In The Hall Of The Mountain King.Īmiable work from Egelhaaf and Carreiro help save this from itself, and they’re cute enough to help you see past the jumbled scripting and all of director (and co-writer and co-producer) Morett’s cinematic trickeries. On his first day he meets almost all of them: scary superiors Tania Davich (Bárbara de Regil) and her sleazy brother Roberto (Mauricio Argüelles) office slackers Hugo (Cesar Rodriguez) and Quique (Carlos Macias Marquez) and Tania’s sweet if put-upon assistant Maribel (Anna Carreiro, who has an Anna Kendrick vibe). When Abuelo later survives a heart attack, Omar realises that he needs to get a proper job to pay for healthcare, and somehow wrangles a position at a tech company full of oh-so-familiar types. Omar Buendía (Gustavo Egelhaaf) is introduced dressed as a cartoony character named ‘Phony’, but although he’s racking up plenty of hits online (to the tune of a horribly-synthesised cover of Stayin’ Alive), his grumpy grandad Abuelo (Alejandro Suárez) sabotages the performance. Still, there’s enough here to enjoy anyway, even though some Mexican critics and commentators apparently disapprove greatly of such silliness, and believe that country’s film industry should be turning out ponderous dramas about grimly heavy contemporary themes.
