An Ounce of Violence

Anton is a struggling writer whose darkest thoughts bleed onto the page, creating two distinct personas within his subconscious: Anton II, a manifestation of his intrusive impulses, and Lenny, the voice of repression. As Anton battles the weight of his past—a fractured relationship with his mother, the recent death of his father, and the relentless pressure of a job that drains him—the boundary between reality and imagination begins to dissolve. What starts as an outlet for his frustration's spirals into something far more dangerous. Anton II begins to take control, slipping from the confines of Anton’s mind and influencing his actions in the real world. Lenny, once a passive observer, becomes a desperate warning sign. As the walls of his psyche crumble, Anton must make a choice: confront the demons that haunt him or surrender to the violent persona lurking beneath the surface. But as his reality unravels, one question remains—was Anton ever truly in control, or was he always the villain of his own story?
