A man is distraught, sorrowful. With his wife lying in a coma, each day begins in tears. But despite this sadness, he is happy. Showered with pity - from his secretary, his dry cleaner, and a neighbor who brings homemade Bundt cakes - the man realizes how much better his life is. He’s grown accustomed to pity - addicted even. What a vexing dilemma he’d face were his wife ever to recover. (Sundance Film Festival)

Unbelievably gloomy, at times I thought that the main character couldn’t possibly be serious with all that depression. He’s drowning in total bullshit and he’s making sure everybody can see that so that nobody would think that he isn’t grieving for his sick wife at all. He gets so brutally lost in his sadness that when his wife eventually gets better, he “happily” goes on with his depression. It’s definitely filmed in an interesting way, but it proves that Greek cinematography is simply the weirdest European cinematography of them all.
