A Dance in Vain (2025): Cast

Monkey has spent years working behind the scenes of a theatre company, barely making ends meet in the city. Her days blend into a monotonous loop until 2020, when her boyfriend Leo returns home and ends his own life. His loss haunts every street she walks and each breath she takes. Trapped in the same routine, she reaches out, hoping to share her exhaustion, but is met only with “You should be grateful—you’re already so lucky.” This lingering grief and the weight of unacknowledged pain drive the film’s quiet, introspective narrative.
