The short film aims to weave a philosophical narrative about the mundane, mediocre realities of life. It starts and ends with a glimpse into the life of his protagonist. Drawing to attention the acitivities of daily of life, it follows him from waking up in the morning to going to work, giving presentations, eating out and eventually falling into his bed at the end of a long day.

The narrative invokes the philosophers (Hegel, Marx) and art (Fight Club) that perhaps inspired the filmmakers to make this film in the first place. It aims to be an honest and sincere engagement with the thoughts and ideas of these thinkers and artists and should be viewed and appreciated for the same.
