Bartleby, the Scrivener:
A Wall Street lawyer needs extra help in his office and hires Bartleby, a reserved and highly efficient copyist. At first, this enigmatic employee works from dawn to dusk without uttering a single complaint. However, everything changes the day when, faced with a completely routine request, Bartleby responds with a phrase that will baffle everyone: “I would prefer not to.”
From that moment on, his polite but unwavering refusal becomes an unbearable mystery. This adaptation of Melville's classic is a fascinating portrait of isolation and the absurdity of modern life.
