Plot
The narrative portrays a plain man who guides the viewer through his life in a bleakly stylised world.
Sinekatalog’s take
A plain man guides us through his bleak, stylized world in a sparse, deadpan short. The painterly staging and cold humor anticipate the director's later tableaux style. Darkly funny and unsettling, it suits fans of absurdist miniatures.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
