Quitting his job as a clerk and moving out of the family home, ‘T’ attempts to fulfil a lifelong dream to become a watercolour artist. An old apartment block in the city centre provides the perfect backdrop to bring to life his vision. But his perfect solitude is interrupted by his nosy, small-minded neighbours. Escaping to the privacy of his bathroom, can ‘T’ finally paint his watercolour? Channeling the black humour of Kafka, The Watercolorist is a disquieting metaphor about yielding control of our lives to others and a reflection on our need for self-discovery and freedom.
