Pity
Stay sad.
Directed by Babis Makridis
Produced by Faliro House Productions, Neda Film
A psychologically dark character study of a man pathologically dependent on sadness and others' pity, exploring the perverse inversion of human emotional need.
The story of a man who feels happy only when he is unhappy: addicted to sadness, with such need for pity, that he’s willing to do everything to evoke it from others. This is the life of a man in a world not cruel enough for him.
