Day and night, the film follows the routine of a bicycle delivery rider — for him as for the others.

A two-minute meditation on routine delivery work sounds like the kind of institutional cinema that puts people to sleep — except P7 seems to have found something genuinely strange in the repetition itself, some formal trick that transforms mundane labor into something that actually unsettles. I'd need to see it, but the promise is there.
The premise arrives steeped in a lineage of observational cinema and structural filmmaking, the kind of restraint-as-argument that dates back to '60s avant-garde; whether P7 earns that inheritance through considered pacing and edit rhythm will determine if this is essay or exercise.
Two minutes tracking a delivery rider through day and night cycles — the entire film likely hinges on a single formal decision, maybe the way they've cut between temporal shifts or chosen to hold a particular shot while the light changes, and that one choice probably makes the difference between passing documentation and something that actually breathes.
