A Hunger Artist

In this adaption of the Franz Kafka story with the same title, a streamer fasts for 40 days in front of a large online audience. Thousands follow and comment on his life in his 24/7 livestream. He gets in-stream support from his manager, who happens to be an avantgarde ASMR artist. For no particular reason the interest in his performance suddenly disappears, as he starts a new round of fasting. With less and less audience the streamer is looking for a new management and continues to fast nonetheless. When he is left completely alone he breaks his old fasting records by far, but unnoticed by anyone. Just before his death a last viewer appears and the streamer reveals why he had to fast.
