“Life in a Fishbowl” is about three people whose lives are intertwined: After a horrible tragedy a writer drinks himself into oblivion on a twenty-year binge. A young single mom moonlights as a prostitute to make ends meet. Former soccer star is recruited into the snake pit of international banking and loses touch with his family.
““Life in a Fishbowl” is a simple story about three people who must face decisive changes to find some sort of redemption. On closer inspection, the stories unveil layer upon layer of meaning which become ever thicker and more complicated as we delve deeper into each character. What the main character have in common is that they all lead a double life in one way or another. They all have daughters of a similar age and all have some sort of reckoning with the past, present of future looming over them.” – Baldvin Z, director
