The Chosen One
“Our fate is in his hands . . . He just doesn't know it yet”
DramaComedy
Paul is an ordinary man who is at the end of his rope. He hates his job, his beautiful wife has left him, and his mother and gay, Buddhist-monk brother constantly remind him of his shortcomings. Although Paul doesn't know it yet, his life is about to change in a big way.
VIBE
This film feels like a wry, existential sigh. It's a darkly funny, yet poignant, look at a man adrift, grappling with life's absurdities and familial pressures. Expect a grounded, character-focused experience with a touch of the bizarre.
