synopsis
The story of a man who feels happy only when he is unhappy, a man addicted to sadness, who has such need for pity, he's willing to do everything to evoke it from others. This is the life of a man in a world not cruel enough for him.
Makridis and his co-writer Efthimis Filippou create a parallel universe that shares many similarities with reality, although it is much bleaker and funnier.
Cineuropa
A disturbing and oftentimes very funny satire-drama, "Pity" is about that complex, primal human craving called empathy and the distance we're willing to go to summon it.
