1/3 (One Third) Trailer

One Third is a timeless psychological thriller that follows the lives of two neighbors in an East Village, New York apartment. Chris, a Buddhist Monk in his late-twenties, makes a meager living sketching charcoal portraits in Washington Square Park. His daily routine includes caring for his tomato plant, meditating on the Chinese character of “emptiness”, and clearing his heart and mind from desire. His obsession with his neighbor, Lotusia, a blonde teenager, is shattered when he discovers she is a prostitute – breaking his preserved world. To Chris, she was the symbol of a lotus flower, in a parallel to Dante’s fleeting obsession with Beatrice as a young girl – and is an inspirational turning point that changes his fate.

This tale about imperfection, reincarnation, and detachment talks about how society re-lives past mistakes, aims for liberation, and ultimately, asserts the responsibility everyone has to be connected with each other. Overall, the reality comes to the truth “we are all living as one – connected”.
