Sonder

2023 • Directed by

Bertram Hardy

The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.

A dramatised documentary following the lives of three unconnected anonymous strangers as they tell their stories. Based on the concept of sonder - the realisation that everyone you pass in the street has a life just as complex as your own, in turn making you oblivious to this because of the vast amount of worries, problems and goals you face daily.
