consumerism disparity existential homelessness irrational philosophy poverty religion travel wealth

A nameless traveler tries to reconcile the stark contrast in wealth that he witnesses on a stroll through the city. 

Filled with existential despair and acerbic wit these short stories or, 'lamentations,' grapple with themes ranging from contemporary politics, to God and religion, to the absurdity of everyday existence.

From the opening moments exploring the unraveling mind of a character on a journey through the vacuity of consumer society, to the finale in which we await the arrival of an absent Messiah, these stories cut to the heart of the human condition.
