Synopsis By hybridizing the language of the ethnographic interview with animated fiction, Life is a game places the viewer at the centre of a fictitious assembly of delivery couriers. What emerges is a complex, personal and at times contradictory vision of the role of couriers in the city, often in total antithesis with the narrative conveyed by the marketing departments of the big companies involved in this industry.
