FEIGE (2025)
On the brink of a breakdown, a manager turns to tarot cards in the hope of regaining his footing. He hopes the reading will articulate what he cannot bring himself to say. But instead of reassuring him, the cards draw him further into what he does not want to say. With every card, he comes closer to an uncomfortable truth.
FEIGE is a short monologue film about work, expectations and self-constructed belief systems. As a silent symbol of his inner life, the bowl of figs on the table also slowly changes and is gradually infested by vermin.
