Private Project

Nobody, Nowhere, Never

The main character is a soldier who has gone through several wars, however today he is a mere criminal and is fleeing from justice. The man has lost everything: his house, his family, even his own name.

Ending up in an empty house where he finds shelter, the protagonist spends time by himself and takes to recollecting the past. He decides to stop fighting and gives up.

However, it turns out that the place and everything that surrounds him, as well as his sole interlocutor in that house, all have played a role in his life - until the moment he died.

Who is this man? Is he a criminal or a victim? A winner or loser? Part of someone's game or the one writing his own rules? The protagonist should find answers to these questions before departing the house...

Director Statement

"Nobody, Nowhere, Never" is a parable about life and death. It is a meditation on who we are and which paths we take in life as we navigate the labyrinths of fate.

The main character is a regular human being, neither more nor less than that. He experienced love and hate, he was brave and did wrongs, he knew happiness and felt out of place among people around him... just like most of us do.
