📖 Story
Four years unfold in raw, unflinching detail as Julie stumbles through love and ambition in The Worst Person in the World, a film that refuses to romanticize her contradictions. She moves between passionate relationships and abandoned career paths, each choice revealing another layer of her self-deception. What emerges is a tender, darkly comic meditation on the gap between who we want to be and who we actually are, where the protagonist's greatest antagonist is her own restless heart.
