Short Film | Editor

Picture this: You are 30 years old, all the people around you have spread their wings, but you live with your controlling parents and leaving your safe enviroment is terrifying.

That's what's Bjorn's life is like. Bjorn has hypochondria, an sickness anxiety disorder that controls every aspect of his life. Everything that remotely resembles a threat terrifies him, going as far as checking whether his heart is still beating. He prefers to stay home so he doesn't have to face the outside world. What doesn't help either is that he keeps hearing these strange noises around him: Someone keeps screaming in the distance and the screaming only seems to be getting closer to him.

But when his mother wants him to find a job and Louis, his only friend, breaks off the friendship to study art in Paris, he finally realises that there's noone left and needs to face his fears in order to continue his life.
