Muha lives at the margins: welfare, managed solitude, medication for what has no name. He measures his days in steps and small attempts at sport. Each week he feeds numbers to the kiosk – the fantasy of reunion, of a second start with his son. When the numbers finally land, the story that kept him going collapses. He cannot bring his son back. Not after what happened: Muha betrayed him to live in the “free world” and now that world feels like a prison.
‚MUHA‚ is a surrealist drama about loss and guilt and how hope sometimes only illuminates what cannot be undone.
