A Lost ~ 0:09:46 | Achwak El Horchani | 2021 | Tunisia

Issa and his friend go out every night to wander, always taking the same path from the house to the park, until one day wandering leads to wondering about the big questions in life: " What am I really? What do I carry?" Formally inspired by the static stage of theater, filmmaker Achwak El Horchani employs only fixed-frame wide shots in this black and white, cinematic essay about life—about trying to understand the world and make the world understood. A USA premiere in Good Symptom.
