HADRIAN

Austria / Croatia, 2021

Although he does not lack earthly luxury, Hadrian one day sets out in search of a better life. The attempt to escape the previous version of his life demands all his strength. The work represents a bingeable series, a film cut into pieces, episodes in a binge-worthy arrangement.
