A man did not shed a single tear during his mother’s funeral. He commits an irreversible act, deemed unforgivable under the judicial system. Witnesses take to the stand, each one’s account as colourful as their personalities, held together by a common thread – the judgement of a man’s soul. Is this man a lunatic, a sage, a fool, a fiend or a social misfit?
Inspired by the philosophy of absurdism and existentialism, A Fiend’s Diary is the ultimate revelation of a man’s battle against the judicial machine, and his conflict against a seemingly indifferent society.
