"One of the pleasant surprises of 2021 cinema, this Angolan gem is one of those movies that already wins points for its premise. Here, director Fradique - considered one of the most interesting voices not only from Angolan cinema, but from all of Africa - hits the mark when telling the story of a man who needs to recover his boss's air conditioner after the appliances mysteriously start falling all over Luanda. Inventive, aesthetically intelligent and just the right size, with just a little over 70 minutes, 'Air Conditioner' is one of those movies that we don't expect anything from, but deep down we find a story full of layers and meanings to reflect on society and our behavior."
