The narrative is calm and subtle to the extent of keeping the viewer completely unaware about the direction they are headed in with it. By the time they realise where it has led them, they are too deeply involved in this story of voyeurism that does exhibit some signs of concern towards the lives of those the protagonist takes interest in, but mostly seems to invoke a disconcerting sentiment in the viewer. <br><br> A woman lives by herself, but possesses an unhealthy interest in the lives of her neighbours. Her weapon of choice that allows her to enter their lives without their knowledge is simply a glass, an object she chooses over other people. The story, notably crafted, further makes it a point to reveal that her life is not one which is devoid of friends or loved ones willing to spend time with her. However she makes the choice of keeping herself isolated, and pushing several boundaries of rationality to indulge herself in this unhealthy obsession with the lives of those living next to her.
