 迪兹（加里·库珀 Gary Cooper 饰）是一位小有成就的商人，早已经衣食无忧的他希望能够从繁忙的事务中脱身，将时间更多的花费在自己的兴趣爱好之上。一笔价值两千万的巨额遗产从天而降落到了迪兹的头上，报社问询派来了记者芭比（琪恩·亚瑟 Jean Arthur 饰），希望她能够从迪兹的身上挖掘出一些吸引眼球的新闻。刚开始，芭比十分看不惯迪兹的处世为人，但随着时间的推移，她渐渐被后者的善良和正直所吸引，两人之间产生了浪漫的爱情。迪兹决定将得到的遗产用于帮助深陷贫困的人，这一举动遭到了律师约翰（Douglass Dumbrille 饰）的质疑，他坚定的认为迪兹的脑袋可能出了什么问题，甚至将他告到了法庭。

Ayşe, Ali, Mehmet and Zeynep are middle-class millennials struggling to make ends meet in Istanbul. Either still living with their parents or hardly getting by without help from their families, they are all beset by similar woes: money crunch, joblessness, social isolation. In view of the world’s horrors that Zeynep enumerates in her diary entries, these are minor problems, ‘slight disasters’, but they are all-consuming, at least to the extent of making them cry in the still of the night. 　　However, Umut Subasi’s first feature, Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster, is not a melodrama. With an appealingly light touch, it diagnoses the malaise of a generation that has run up against a dead end, one whose future prospects are indistinguishable from a game of chance. This is a world where astrology, the lottery and online personality tests compete with visa and job applications as life-shaping elements. 　　Fittingly, the film is structured around chance and coincidence, with its handful of characters encountering each other in every permutation, as though there were no world outside this small social bubble. With self-aware, frontal framing that pins characters to their surroundings and a counterintuitive musical score that turns pathos into humour, Subasi offers a social-media movie without social media, one whose characters are united in their double lives and frustrated desires. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/almost-entirely-a-slight-disaster
