"Pity" is one such portrayal of a loathsome pretender, a lawyer (Yannis Drakopoulos) who is addicted to sadness for he loves to bask in pitiable situations. The narrative begins with the attorney's wife (Evi Saoulidou), who after an accident has been hospitalised and is lying in a coma. Her prospects of recovery are faint, at least that's how her soft-spined, drab husband prefers to see it and inadvertently invites others to do the same. With a forlorn gloomy face, he blatantly wears his grief to attract kindness from strangers. But, when his life brightens up, how he lies, bullies and manipulates in order to "stay sad", to keep up that sweet flow of empathy from strangers, forms the crux of the tale.
