HALBI GSPRÖCH

A listless young man suffers from the expectations of those around him.

Employment office.
Job hunting.
Love life.
Love life.
Job hunting.
Employment office.

All he wants is to be left alone.
But the world around him refuses to let him.

Thoughts

This film explores why unproductivity is often perceived as a personal affront. I am interested in how society reacts when a seemingly healthy young man, without giving reasons, simply chooses not to participate. The film doesn’t question his decision; instead, it exposes the mechanisms that push individuals to conform.
