Belowed Be The One Who Sits Down

2013 | Students film, Short | Director: Vytautas Tinteris

This short film uses minimalistic audiovisual tools to raises existential questions. The protagonist, who is played by different actors, sits in a white, seemingly endless space and sticks to his choice not to participate in this world. His stillness is his silent protest towards the life itself.

A man is sitting on a chair throughout different stages of his life and is confronted by a voice, which always reproaches the protagonist not meeting the generally accepted standards of the society. Already from the moment of birth a human is expected to educate himself in all the meanings of this word, so that he could eventually become a useful part of the society. But what happens if a man refuses to concede to such expectations? What happens if a man is honest to himself and remains motionless throughout his whole life?
