The-Art-of-Being-a-Narcissist

Synopsis

Drama |Sweden

Sebastian is writing a novel about the summer when he met the girl who changed everything, in the writing he asks himself why he is drawn to girls who are thrill-seeking and intimacy-disturbed, he begins to question himself, is he just like them, or something even worse?

”The art of being a narcissist” is a short film that questions our contemporary romanticizing of the narcissistic traits that are so often praised in Western culture and therefore make us narcissists; when we are conditioned into these behaviors. Is it the new normal to be thrill-seeking and intimacy-disturbed?
