A man of about forty-five, the Lawyer, lives with his teenage son in a well-off home. He is healthy, with a pleasing face, good manners and is generally well maintained. His hair is perfectly cut and groomed. His wife, however, has been in a coma and has been in a private hospital for some time following an accident. The sadness caused by this event has become the Lawyer’s main and most vital element of life, giving him a sense of pleasure that becomes an addiction. His grief has also suddenly made everybody have compassion towards him. His life has never been better. Then, one day, something happens and changes his recently established everyday life of pity and sorrow.

Declaration
film director
“We wanted the script to have a bit of humour because, in our eyes, every movie is a comedy. So that’s exactly what we told our crew. I would like to think that Pity has some Jacques Tati in it.”
