Nimic (2019)

The life of a cellist goes through unexpected changes after he starts a conversation with a woman in the subway.

'Nothing' is a short film by the controversial Yorgos Lanthimos, an author who always focuses on symbolism and subtle suggestions. The current film focuses on the claustrophobia caused by the realization that we are all replaceable in a world where we surround ourselves with superficial connections.
