How to Be a Modern Man

"Como Dios manda" is a comedy that incorporates classic elements of situational humor and character-driven conflict, typical of the genre. The story centers around Andrés Cuadrado, an old-fashioned and conservative civil servant whose rigid worldview clashes humorously with the progressive environment of the Ministry of Equality. This setup creates plenty of comedic tension through Andrés's struggle to adapt to a new culture that challenges his traditional beliefs, including flexible schedules and vegan co-workers. What makes this film stand out from other comedies is its sharp social commentary on changing societal norms and workplace dynamics, using the protagonist's clash with modern values as a source of both humor and reflection. The humor arises not just from the absurdity of situations but also from the contrast between Andrés's steadfast adherence to a hierarchical order and the new, more fluid and egalitarian environment he must navigate.
