In this cinematic diary, he looks back on his profession, his doubts, the need for images, the absurdity of borders, the danger of “getting used to war” and the essence of his quest, which is also that of the film: humanity. Yet another impressive work by Matthieu Rytz, talented filmmaker born in Nyon!
Misfortune in Life, of a man who suffers in silence
In a vast empty parking garage that seems to stretch without end, Lennart, an aging bank employee, discovers that he can no longer find his car. What begins as a minor inconvenience slowly transforms into an absurd journey through identical floors, quiet reflections and strange encounters. As he searches the concrete maze, reality starts to bend around him. A mysterious figure appears and disappears, offering riddles instead of answers, while the outside world waits for his return. Trapped in a cycle of repetition and frustration, Lennart is forced to confront a growing sense of hopelessness. As the search continues, the missing car becomes more than a lost vehicle. It becomes a reflection of a man struggling to regain his control in a world that seems to move forward without him. Misfortune in Life, for a Man Who Suffers in Silence is an absurdist drama about hopelessness, loss of control, and the quiet fear of being left behind.
