　　跨國投資銀行香港高層約翰收到勒索電郵，如不按指示三日內(nèi)交出約十九萬港幣，有關(guān)臺(tái)灣科網(wǎng)龍頭公司之機(jī)密融資分析就會(huì)被公開。為了公司聲譽(yù)，也為免客戶股價(jià)大幅波動(dòng)，約翰暗中找來昔日大學(xué)舍堂堂友兼刑警唐輔協(xié)助調(diào)查?！　C(jī)密融資分析由約翰四位下屬負(fù)責(zé)，其中牧野一度失蹤，嫌疑極大。發(fā)現(xiàn)檔案在內(nèi)聯(lián)網(wǎng)被偷之小儒，因曾向電腦部職員阿植求救，結(jié)果整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)連阿植六人，都被約翰安排到附近一間貴賓公寓套房，接受唐輔以至其手下全天候監(jiān)視，直至完成贖金交易。　　由于贖金奇少，綁匪顯然志不在錢，其多個(gè)古怪指示更令人困惑。當(dāng)阿植協(xié)助追蹤綁匪電郵源頭時(shí)，竟發(fā)現(xiàn)電郵是由公司伺服器發(fā)出，換言之綁匪必有內(nèi)應(yīng)。其后電郵證實(shí)來自阿植手機(jī)，縱然他在早上已遺失手機(jī)，而最后是小儒接觸他手機(jī)，阿植依然百詞莫辨。　　唐輔發(fā)現(xiàn)阿植家庭背景殊不簡單，疑似內(nèi)應(yīng)之神秘人又頻頻現(xiàn)身，加上科網(wǎng)公司原來曾有高層因新一代網(wǎng)上平臺(tái)開發(fā)延誤而被迫離職，甚至行蹤成疑，這一切都有關(guān)連嗎？　　由開發(fā)延誤導(dǎo)致融資失敗，由此可能觸發(fā)新一輪全球股災(zāi)，到最后綁匪竟要求用約翰用網(wǎng)上拍賣繳交贖款，究竟唐輔這一代會(huì)明白新一代的上網(wǎng)心態(tài)嗎？不了解又能否替約翰低調(diào)破案？阿植又可會(huì)知道誰是真兇？以至真兇為何要陷害他嗎？　　綁匪背后真正動(dòng)機(jī)又是什麼？

Ay?e, Ali, Mehmet and Zeynep are middle-class millennials struggling to make ends meet in Istanbul. Either still living with their parents or hardly getting by without help from their families, they are all beset by similar woes: money crunch, joblessness, social isolation. In view of the world’s horrors that Zeynep enumerates in her diary entries, these are minor problems, ‘slight disasters’, but they are all-consuming, at least to the extent of making them cry in the still of the night. 　　However, Umut Subasi’s first feature, Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster, is not a melodrama. With an appealingly light touch, it diagnoses the malaise of a generation that has run up against a dead end, one whose future prospects are indistinguishable from a game of chance. This is a world where astrology, the lottery and online personality tests compete with visa and job applications as life-shaping elements. 　　Fittingly, the film is structured around chance and coincidence, with its handful of characters encountering each other in every permutation, as though there were no world outside this small social bubble. With self-aware, frontal framing that pins characters to their surroundings and a counterintuitive musical score that turns pathos into humour, Subasi offers a social-media movie without social media, one whose characters are united in their double lives and frustrated desires. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/almost-entirely-a-slight-disaster
