lazarus path

After spending years as a traveling street artist, performing as living statue, Lazar finds himself on a small Mediterranean island. He wants to return home, but his departure from the island becomes complicated by the impossibility of communicating with the island's bureaucracy. We follow the tiresome process of collecting documentation required for his departure. Encounters with officials become increasingly strange and incomprehensible. Their questions transcend administrative boundaries and delve into the intimate aspects of Lazar's life. The tedious process of collecting documentation turns into a re-examination life’s meaning and deep secrets hidden from oneself. This thematically displaced narrative serves as a reminder that responsibility stems from the existential fact that life is a chain of questions one must answer by being responsible for oneself and others. It involves deciding which response to give to each individual question, understanding that for every question, there is only one answer - the truthful one.
