Plot.

A tenuously connected group of nobodies trudge through their dreary Winnipeg existence. A sickly man in an unhappy marriage, a stand-up comedian whose sets are received with indifference, a stoner couple who share only trivial exchanges, and a young loner are each living lives lost in translation, detached from their surroundings and the people around them.

Wiki.

Tapeworm is a 2019 dark comedy directed by Milos Mitrovic and Fabian Velasco. It had its world premiere in the Future//Present section of the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Described as an "anti-comedy", Tapeworm explores the loosely interconnected, mundane and miserable lives of a hypochondriac, a failed stand up comedian, two stoners and a loner living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each of the characters are notable mostly for how bleak and joyless their existence has become. The film went on to have its European premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and its US premiere at Slamdance Film Festival.
