Bartleby
“I would prefer not to.”
ComedyDrama
An adaptation of Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener" told in the setting of a modern office.
VIBE
A quiet, existential office drama that feels like a slow descent into polite madness. It's a study in passive resistance and the absurdities of corporate life, delivered with a detached, darkly humorous tone.
