Snake

2026

A wry, unsettling Kafkaesque crawl through bureaucracy, where a guilty man's plea for punishment becomes absurd comedy tinged with quiet despair.

Overview: Paolo Marra killed his wife for no reason. Consumed by guilt, he decides to turn himself in: he wants to pay the price, serve his sentence, and restore dignity to the woman he killed—and to himself. Amid distracted police officers, zealous lawyers, fortune-tellers, and complicated bureaucratic red tape, no one takes him seriously. The man finds himself the victim of a Kafkaesque paradox: no matter how much he wants it, he cannot get himself arrested. He is the perfect scapegoat for a grotesque society that ignores those who seek redemption.
How it feels: Absurd, dark, satirical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Guilt, justice, redemption, morality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
