When unbalance leads to submission

DramaComedy

An unemployed Brit vents his rage on unsuspecting strangers as he embarks on a nocturnal London odyssey.

VIBE

This film is a raw, unflinching descent into the abyss of urban alienation and existential dread. It feels like a bleak, nocturnal odyssey through a decaying cityscape, confrontational and deeply unsettling. The mood is relentlessly cynical, exploring the darkest corners of human cruelty and self-loathing with a gritty, character-driven intensity.
