The Overcoat

2017 NR 19m 8

A lonely social outcast gets a glimpse of what life is like for someone popular, and cannot let it go, even in death.

Based on the short story by Nikolai Gogol, this blackly comic fairytale is about a lonely social outcast who, in an effort to raise his status at work, spends all his money on a new overcoat, which seemingly gives him the approval he craves. But when it's stolen from him, he cannot return to his previous life of anonymity, leading to a downward spiral from which there is no return.
