A Pain in the Ass

• Comedy
• Drama

A darkly comedic and quietly unsettling drama unfolds as a meticulous hitman’s calculated assignment in Montpellier is repeatedly derailed by the increasingly erratic behavior of his hotel neighbor, a man spiraling after a painful separation. What begins as professional annoyance transforms into an unexpected, awkward entanglement fueled by thwarted intentions and escalating anxieties; the film uniquely focuses not on the act of killing, but on the mundane frustrations *around* it, and the unintended consequences of simply existing alongside another person's unraveling. It's a study in loneliness and failed connections, exploring the subtle ways we disrupt each other's lives and the absurd lengths we go to avoid confronting our own emotional voids, all within the claustrophobic setting of a generic hotel.
