Paranoia

Filip is a paranoid man without a higher purpose, whose life is plagued by the onset of schizophrenia and a mysterious Stalker who appears in his dreams. As Filip struggles to overcome his anxiety and finally leave his home, he soon notices a strange figure outside. Panic sets in, and he breaks into a run - what begins as a quiet walk turns into a relentless chase, one from which there is no escape.
