The Sufferers

A medieval monk accidentally invents the printing press while trying to create a faster way to copy his complaints about monastery food. Addison Wright's 2026 historical comedy follows Brother Alaric as his revolutionary invention spreads across Europe, bringing not enlightenment but an avalanche of petty grievances, bureaucratic forms, and the world's first chain letters. The film blends absurdist humor with surprisingly accurate period detail, exploring how humanity's greatest innovations often emerge from our most trivial frustrations.
