FantasyCrime

In a wordless film, a disheveled man awakens in a boarding house and peers out to see children playing and a well‑dressed stranger reading a newspaper on a street chair, the headline reporting a child's murder. Haunted by fear, he wanders the city, startled whenever someone looks at him. A woman offers him a view through a public telescope; he continues onward, climbing a hill where fencers and a jester appear, leaving his desperate flight ambiguous.
