Pity

A man is distraught, sorrowful. With his wife lying in a coma, each day begins in tears. But despite this sadness, he is happy. Showered with pity - from his secretary, his dry cleaner, and a neighbor who brings homemade Bundt cakes - the man realizes how much better his life is. He’s grown accustomed to pity - addicted even. What a vexing dilemma he’d face were his wife ever to recover. (Sundance Film Festival)
