The Lonely Road (2019)

The Lonely Road is a short drama-experimental film by Dean Attari where a silent, but pensive, loner journeys to observe and express solitude and its emotion, showing the down sides and the up sides of such a state.

 

Synopsis

After seeing a lonely woman and a lonely man, a silent, but pensive young man, a loner, explores and expresses the state and emotion of solitude. He first explains and observes how good it is to be one’s own best friend, how to know who your true friends are and the importance of continuing to move forward in life. Then, he is seen on an isolated road in the forest that seems to represent the feeling of solitude. Afterwards, he talks about things people like. Is there really a way to deal with the heavy feeling of loneliness?
