I Hired a Contract Killer

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a city filled with shadows and monotonous routines, a man trapped in a futureless job decides he has had enough of his sad life. Loneliness consumes him, and after a series of moderately intense misadventures, he makes a drastic decision: to hire a hitman to end his existence. However, what begins as a clear and straightforward plan soon turns into a mix of confusion and absurdity.

As he awaits his fate, the protagonist starts to reflect on his life, reliving past moments and the relationships he has left behind. He soon realizes that his desire to escape life is not as simple as he thought. As the day of his "execution" approaches, the hitman reveals his own perspective on life and death, leading to an unexpected twist in the story. Together, they establish an unusual connection, causing our protagonist to begin questioning his decision.

With a tone of dark comedy, the film explores the boundaries of morality and human desperation, in a journey that combines hilarious moments with profound reflection. As the clock ticks down, the protagonist must decide whether he truly wants to end his life or if there is something more worth living for. A story about the absurdity of existence and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. A surreal journey you will never forget!
