Fools Gold

2021 · 16 min

A grim pandemic-set short that drifts between social realism and eerie mystery, leaving a quiet sense of unease.

Directed by
Shailesh Singh
Overview
It’s 2020. A virus has taken over the world. People are dying in masses. The economy has fallen (or so it seems). Unemployment remains a relevant and widely ignored problem. In this setting, an accident happens in the city of Lodz. They say a blue crystal fell from the sky and killed a homeless man. Miłosz and Tomek, two random guys, find the body and the rock.
