Elbows Up is a visceral, black-and-white docufiction that blurs the boundary between cinema and unscripted reality. Following a young man navigating political obsession, the crushing weight of generational trauma, and escalating domestic warfare alongside his father, the film serves as an unblinking look at a soul under siege. Part psychological breakdown, part dark comedy, and part raw documentary, it is an uncompromising exploration of the friction between life and art.
