Abstract

An intended thought-provoking philosophical fiction short film, two prisoners on death row- a convicted murderer of a corrupt politician and a wrongly accused man- engage in a profound discussion on mortality, justice and human nature. The murderer, influenced by Nietzsche’s and Dostoevsky’s philosophy, questions the double standards of morality, while the wrongly accused man challenges these ideas with a perspective on humanity and self-control, elevating concept of “overman”. As their dialogue unfolds, both characters gain new insights and face their impending execution with transformed beliefs, having inspired each other in their final moments.
