Crossing Europe

Pity

1 hr. 39 min. | Drama

With his wife lying in a coma, each day of a middle-aged lawyer's life begins tears. But despite this sadness, he is happy. Showered with pity from his secretary, his dry cleaner, and his neighbours, the man realizes how much better his life is. He’s grown accustomed to pity—addicted even. When suddenly, his wife gets better.
