Neurasthenia is Tootoonchi’s debut feature film that will compete against other works in this festival.
The film is about a 25-year-old man suffering from depression. He visits a psychiatrist as advised by friends and starts analyzing his problems with the family and society.
Neurasthenia is a psychological disorder that denotes a condition with symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, headache, neuralgia and depression mood.
The aim of this festival which is held on 10-19 October is to discover young talents and introduce them to the world before their attendance in Cannes Festival.
