“The Man Who Couldn’t Cry”

Drama/ 12min / 2015

“The Man Who Couldn’t Cry” is a modern day fairy tale about a lonely man, who never shed a tear in his life.

Eamon's passion for capturing emotional moments extends to collecting tears in test tubes. When he crosses paths with Emily, a young woman consumed by eternal sadness, he decides to break out of his shyness and invites her to stay with him.

Two strangers, who couldn’t be more different from each other, share an intense time together that changes their lives forever.

“Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth it has always been a sign that you are alive.” (C. Bronte, Jane Eyre)

Update: After the success of “The Man Who Couldn’t Cry”, a children’s book for adults in Esperanto has been developed with original illustrations that take the premise to a new level.
