After his girlfriend commits suicide, a man becomes embroiled in gang warfare attempting to obtain a gun in hopes to kill himself.

VIBE

A raw, punk-infused descent into urban despair. This film feels like a desperate, black-and-white scream against the void, fueled by nihilism and a relentless pursuit of oblivion. It's a visceral, unflinching experience.
