Un rolls para Hipólito

Hipólito works as a factory janitor when a strike stops the line, leaving the plant in a tense standstill. He is tapped to carry the workers complaints to the boss, a role that pushes him into the center of the conflict. Stubborn and not easily swayed, he begins to use the position to press his own demands, even if it means playing games with the office routine. In a bid to keep control of information and negotiations, he hires a personal secretary and turns the administrative world into a new arena for bargaining. The film follows his misadventures as he tries to maneuver through power and copy room politics.

Directed by Juan Bosch, this 1983 Spanish comedy sits in the era's workplace satire. It stems from writer Mariano Ozores Puchol, aligning with the light tone and accessible humor of Spanish cinema at the time.

Audience reaction appears modest, with a 5.667 out of 10 average from six votes. Critics note a brisk pace driven by strong character work, though some see it as familiar territory. The film jokes about labor conflict and the quirks of office power.
