PROBLEM

A single film shot and a single event that shakes up the everyday routine of people sharing the same backyard. Everyone is in a hurry, but an unconscious man is lying on the pavement – and he is the eponymous ‘problem’. A short gripping fiction film revealing the director’s documentary experience and realistic angle.
