SYNOPSIS//

HORTUM is an experimental short film about self-destruction. It’s an artistic celebration of being at the edge. The inspiration for the film is based on the director’s relative who was diagnosed with a terminal medical condition that ultimately fed and fueled his self-destructive behavior. HORTUM visualizes those memories of addiction in the form of art installations and performances. HORTUM is a story of a man who was an artist, but was unaware as the result of his addiction. HORTUM is the illustration of emotions that show there is no beginning and no end to the struggle.
