Perfectionism is a psychological drama exploring the paralyzing pursuit of self-improvement, the fear of failure, and the growing disconnect between who we are and who we believe we should become.

The film follows a man trapped in a cycle of digital consumption, self-optimization, and quiet self-loathing. When an unexpected encounter confronts him with another person's success, the fragile illusion of control he has built around himself begins to unravel. What once sounded like encouragement gradually transforms into an increasingly sinister internal monologue, exposing the destructive nature of his own expectations.

Visually, the film adopts a slow, melancholic, and atmospheric approach. Shot in black and white, it uses deliberate compositions, subtle movement, and an intimate relationship with space and sound to reflect the protagonist's psychological deterioration.

An independent, creatively driven production, Perfectionism aims to bring together a passionate crew interested in collaborative filmmaking and emotionally resonant storytelling.
