The Seventh Sin

2016 · 20 min

A claustrophobic, unsettling chamber piece that quietly blurs reality and delusion, leaving you uneasy and second-guessing what is actually there.

Thriller
Overview
In a half-empty room of a psychologist's office, a patient lies on the sofa, looking indifferent. One after another, characters appear in the room - embodiments of sins, with inscriptions on their backs: "Lust", "Wrath", "Envy", "Pride", "Sloth", "Greed". The psychologist does not see them, but, apparently, feels their presence, without admitting it to himself. He talks to himself, complaining about clogged pipes and an inattentive secretary, which, apparently, he does not have.
How it feels
Eerie, dark, tense and absurd. Slow-burning and demanding.
