Lousy Carter

In a world where personal ambition often overshadows empathy, Lousy Carter is an artist grappling with the harsh reality of his own mortality. Diagnosed with a terminal illness that gives him only six months to live, he is thrust into a race against time to complete his passion project: an animated adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's complex work. As if this wasn't challenging enough, Lousy also finds himself teaching a graduate seminar on F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, guiding young minds through the intricacies of literature while simultaneously grappling with its themes in his personal life. He spirals deeper into moral turpitude when he sleeps with his best friend's wife, further complicating his already unstable emotional landscape. This poignant and thought-provoking narrative weaves together themes of love, betrayal, ambition, and the fleeting nature of life as Lousy Carter attempts to leave a lasting mark on both art and relationships before it all comes to an abrupt end.
