TRAILER
MORE INFO
Pity
When his wife re-emerges from a long-lasting coma, a middle-aged lawyer concocts increasingly elaborate ways to try and regain the thing he misses the most: the pity of others.
A movie about how people relate to misery as a means to happiness. Showcasing the fine balance between those two different meanings and their equal value, as well as their artificial recreation in one’s life.
