My Pants Are Your Pants

My Pants Are Your Pants is a docufiction set in Prishtina. A techno-optimist mayor builds his public image through constant livestreams, promising innovation, smart solutions, and digital progress.

Citizens initially respond with curiosity, and he invites them into his broadcasts to create the impression of direct participation. Gradually, inconsistencies appear: some guests seem rehearsed, and a supposedly remote caller is revealed to be sitting in the same room as the mayor.

While residents continue raising concerns about the city, a question from a fan page dedicated to a well-known stray dog suddenly dominates the livestream: "Is it true you are not wearing any pants?"

Unable to let it go, the mayor launches an increasingly absurd campaign to prove that he is wearing them. Receipts, renderings, celebrity endorsements, and endless explanations replace any discussion of the city, until a final encounter with the stray dog exposes the truth.
