The film is wastes no time in hitting the nail on the head. A man is about to wash his hands when an unusual noise, like the screaming of scores of little beings, fills up his head and ears. Unable to figure out the source of the noise at first, he is left flustered and unsure. However, when the truth is discovered, executing the task of washing his hands becomes an activity more enjoyable than he or the viewer would have anticipated. The simple act gains even more relevance in a pandemic-stricken world. Along with this, it is fun to watch a character wash their hands with manic glee as long as it involves killing something, even if microorganisms.

The film treads a path between reality and dreams and eventually asserts a strange, even amusing, message about self-love. It employs no dialogue and predominantly uses a black and a white palette to bring its world to life. The protagonist goes to bed and delves into a world of strange developments. Objects and people appear and disappear before him - there is a suggestion of alcohol, a woman and a stranger. And yet, when he wakes up from it all, the overarching sentiment in his life remains of a deep love towards the self.
