Misfortune in Life, of a man who suffers in silence (2026)
In a vast empty parking garage that seems to stretch without end, Lennart, an aging bank employee, discovers that he can no longer find his car. What begins as a minor inconvenience slowly transforms into an absurd journey through identical floors, quiet reflections and strange encounters. As he searches the concrete maze, reality starts to bend around him. A mysterious figure appears and disappears, offering riddles instead of answers, while the outside world waits for his return. Trapped in a cycle of repetition and frustration, Lennart is forced to confront a growing sense of hopelessness. As the search continues, the missing car becomes more than a lost vehicle. It becomes a reflection of a man struggling to regain his control in a world that seems to move forward without him. Misfortune in Life, for a Man Who Suffers in Silence is an absurdist drama about hopelessness, loss of control, and the quiet fear of being left behind.
