The Man who Lives in the Attic (2021)
Logline What appears as a normal day in a young man’s life, who is jobless and without friends, may not necessarily be normal for him. Synopsis A young man who lives in an attic in a suburb in Thimphu goes about his daily routine – chanting prayers, watering the dying flowers, browsing through social media, and watching men his age play futsal through a small window in his attic. Everything is mundane. Ordinary. But behind the façade of this ordinariness, he is trapped in the attic – powerless, stagnant and immobile. Outside his attic, life goes on as usual.
