Három ember története egy éjszaka visszavonhatatlanul összefonódik. Egy jószívű anya, hogy támogatni tudja a lányát, sötét foglalkozást választ magának. Egy idősödő férfi múltja és tragikus élete elől menekül az italba, iszákossága közben hajléktalanná válik. Egy sikeres üzletember egy céges csalás hatására morális dilemmába kerül. Mindhárman kénytelenek elszámolni a múltjukkal, és a jelennel, hogy képesek legyenek ismét tükörbe nézni, és magukon kívül a környezetükön is segítsenek. (Vertigo Média)

The biggest issue of the film lies in that it combines too many things, which do not conclude in a proper ending. All the characters just somehow sail through the movie and in the end do not put together a coherent ending. Plus, there are the three stories, which are not original in any aspect. Quite the contrary. They are completely ordinary. But maybe what makes them unique is exactly the fact that they are ordinary. So ordinary that the Icelanders consider this film a top hit. For me, it is not so. It is just an ordinary peek into the life of people behaving like people and that is probably what makes it unique.

I would like to say that this whole genre of episodic storytelling is passé, but I can do with the fact that the similarly laborious and unreliable realization is passé. It has been written about Life in a Fishbowl that it is the best Icelandic film of all time... I don't know, I think maybe Ragnar Bragason performed an analysis of the local society in Parents more humbly and more credibly. Life in a Fishbowl is a summary of all the flaws that a similar film can have - themes used half-apathetically, characters molded as needed for the point, and the points themselves made in the midcult barren spirit. Although Baldvin Z. never is never downright boring, the sterility of his film is annoying.
