Films : Stressed : all
animate! synopsis
Soft bodies, hard landings. Tenement times and the living ain’t easy. Drawing our own conclusions about the city.
long synopsis
Stressed follows the residents of a tenement block whose interwoven lives are made tougher by the tension and stress of city life. We watch to see how various stressful events of the day make them behaveand in turn have a knock on effect on others.
Some are impatient, agressive and some actually start feeling ill. All this anguish is unecessary and very far removed from the more caring and peaceful lives we could be living. It could be greatly alleviated if there was more time and compassion for others
