ComedyDrama

Victor is a legal advisor who finds himself abandoned by his wife and fired the same day. He tries to seek comfort from different friends and family members, but everyone he meets is concerned with their own problems. His morale begins to falter when he realizes that no one cares about him.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective descent into the absurdity of modern life. It's a film that feels like a long, lonely sigh, punctuated by moments of dark humor and profound alienation. A stark reminder that sometimes, everyone's too busy with their own problems to notice yours.
