Bref
Life. In the beginning you are born, at the end you die. Between those, things happen. In short. This is the story of a guy, between those.
Created by Kyan Khojandi, Bruno Muschio
A wry, philosophically grounded comedy-drama about a directionless man's daily life and incremental search for meaning, delivered with formal playfulness and intimate interiority.
A lost thirty-something shares his struggles, from failed relationships to boring jobs and pointless nights out. Stuck in his routine at first, he slowly evolves, searching for meaning in his life. In short, he's just trying to live.
