WHALE 52 is a dark comedy about a young graduate navigating life's harsh realities and societal absurdities, all while teetering on the edge of self-destruction in his search for belonging.

Oliver, caught between the worlds of Generation Z and Millennials, faces daunting challenges as he navigates the complexities of adulthood. No longer a teenager but not fully settled into adult life, this once brilliant graduate and top student finds himself struggling to secure a job in a world that seems relentlessly unforgiving. Alienated by those around him and feeling battered by life's harsh realities, Oliver is haunted by dark thoughts of self-destruction and a profound sense of disconnection. In a desperate bid for clarity, he reluctantly turns to psychotherapy, skeptical of its value. "Talking about pain only deepens it, and therapy doesn’t always heal," he muses. As he delves deeper into his psyche, Oliver comes to a stark realization: self-destruction might be the painful but necessary first step toward his own renewal.
