SOMETHING POINTLESS (2026)
When a bullied young boy discovers an older man quietly affixing painted eggshells to a forgotten brick wall in their neighbourhood, an unlikely friendship forms — and he begins to understand how even the smallest, “pointless” acts can leave behind something transformative and lasting.
