Songs from the New Year

A bipolar sculptor drifts through life surrounded by friends whose marriages and happiness mirror the glossy perfection of social media. Feeling increasingly alienated, he decides to end his life on a day when his inner turmoil reaches its peak. But the sudden arrival of an uninvited guest disrupts his plan. This unexpected intrusion forces him to confront a disturbing realization: he is no longer free to choose death on his own terms. What follows is not a story about living or dying, but about who truly owns a decision when life itself refuses to stay private.
