Pseudohuman

The film offers an interesting, experimental narrative using the lived reality of its protagonist - make of it what you may. Stuck in an immovable daily routine of an unsatisfying job and an empty life of pointless chores, he is one day approached by a woman in a bar.

This woman, who categories him as a 'pseudohuman', would perhaps metaphorically (and literally, as it plays out on screen) wake people up from their slumber. As colours trickle back into the visuals, they find themselves embracing art, accepting a sensual experience away from the humdrum of mundane life. However, swaying around the room, allowing themselves to be a version of their personality they had perhaps long forgotten, what will be their eventual fate?
