    One Euro

    One Euro is a psychological chamber drama set almost entirely inside a public restroom at an abandoned train station.

    A young university student becomes trapped inside a restroom stall after refusing to pay a one-euro fee to the elderly restroom attendant outside. What begins as a minor conflict slowly escalates into a tense psychological struggle about control, shame, emotional collapse, and two very different ways of holding reality together.

    The project is built around minimalism, emotional realism, and slow-burning tension, with a strong focus on atmosphere, dialogue, and character psychology.
