A man grew up in Poland. His father was a lumberjack, and his mother was lead poisoning from working in a mine. He was born sick and had trouble communicating with people.
Later, his parents froze to death. He came to Australia alone to work in a garbage dump. He was struck by lightning once and unfortunately lost a testicle.
Fortunately, not dead. He thought that his bleak life had come to an end, but it was really strange that he really didn't die.
He also had an operation on his head and met a nurse in the hospital. So he got married.
But because they were infertile, they had to adopt a disabled child. The child was very good, and later went to the United States to study and become a lawyer.
His wife did not accompany him until his later years, leaving before him.
So, he was the only one left in the world. He started using the microwave as a cash machine, and neighbors put him in a nursing home with dementia.
Every day he sits at a fake station (deliberately set up by the hospital), waiting for a bus that will never show up.
He thought of death, thought of this life, and stumbled.
So he planned to commit suicide.
That night, he saw a woman sitting by the window, also waiting to die.
He sat beside her, thinking and thinking.
The next day, she died and he was alive.
From that day on, he planned to live, to start naked, to enjoy the rest of his life, to bathe in the sun every day, and to continue waiting for that bus with a smile on his face.
The story ends like this: Life is like a cigarette, smoked to the butt.
A short film made of clay puppets has won numerous awards.
Another work of the director, you must have seen and liked: "Mary and Marx".
The protagonists in his works are very lonely.
