The Patient

The Patient is the second short film by director Luc Leclerc, following the award-winning William. Building on the experimental techniques developed in his debut, this new work continues to explore the boundaries between AI-generated imagery and traditional storytelling.

A man enters a healthcare labyrinth seeking treatment, only to find himself ensnared in an incomprehensible bureaucratic nightmare. As routine procedures morph into existential horrors and institutional logic overrides human need, he discovers that the real pathology isn't medical, it's systemic.



The Patient is out now and available to watch in full above. After making its way through the international festival circuit, the film is now released to the public.
