Death and Stan(2023)

Death and Stan is a film that follows Stanisa, a young intellectual who abandons his family and girlfriend, convinced of their cognitive inferiority. Seeking kindred spirits, Stan retreats to an abandoned house deep in the wilderness where he discovers a community of similarly minded thinkers. What begins as an escape from the ordinary world becomes an exploration of isolation, intellectual arrogance, and the human cost of superiority. As Stan settles into this unconventional refuge with fellow intellectuals, tensions simmer beneath the surface, challenging his assumptions about connection and belonging. The film examines whether true intelligence lies in knowledge alone or in the capacity to understand those around us.
