The Ungrateful Tenant
Set in 2026 Auckland, the narrative unfolds through the stark, monochrome gaze of a German expressionist silent era. If it weren't for the online group chat and the ever-humming electric heater, the city's century-old, insulation-poor bungalows would convince you you're stranded in the 1920s. The Ungrateful Tenant follows an anxiety-ridden millennial renter who dreams of one day owning his own house. When his paranoid frustration peaks, he boots out his 'nightmare' flatmate, only to be struck by instant karma, launching him on a cursed odyssey through flats across Auckland. Experience the brutal absurdity of the housing crisis in slapstick fashion.
