Uniquely enjoyable.
'Air Conditioner' isn't anything special per se, though it does have a really neat and somewhat strange vibe throughout which makes it a surprisingly pleasant watch - at under 1hr 15mins, you can't really go wrong there either. The music is this 2020 film's best feature; the score is excellent. José Kiteculo and Filomena Manuel are a fine pairing, to boot.
6.2Plot summary
An extraordinary story that navigates trough the magical neo-realism of an old building in downtown Luanda. When the city's air-conditioners mysteriously start to fall, Matacedo (security guard) and Zezinha (housemaid) have the mission of retrieving their boss's ac. This mission will take them trough a world full of water leaks, cracks, cages of noisy generators and hope when they enter the mysterious semi-abandoned electrical shop of the neighborhood.

Weird film with a strange story.
A weird film with a strange story set in a dystopian world. Not everyone can enjoy this film, some of them die out through half way. But, for those who are thirsty for variety film making can make a go.

Could this be the best film I watched in 2020? Most certainly!
I'm amazed at the masterfulness of this feature debut. It's not slow, yet not too fast paced, it's got its social commentary, yet leaves enough air for magic and humour. And last but not least - it's exact length as not to burden the plot with directorial whimsies.
