The short film introduces you to a character who needs no provocation or pauses to hold a conversation entirely on his own. As he moves from one hapless listener to another, from cab drivers to unsuspecting shopkeepers, his rambles about his life, relationships, past and family continue.
With little attention paid to what the other person is up to or their level of preoccupation, he goes forth sharing his experiences and thoughts. Up until this moment in the narrative, the tone is lighthearted and silly, almost at the expense of the protagonist himself. However, it soon takes a darker turn, roping in emotions of loneliness and denial of companionship. We now see him as an isolated character, removed from society and the joys of friendship.
As he unburdens himself before Beatle, a friendly dog, all of these emotions are invoked for the viewer to engage with. The narrative continues to develop, and just when one might assume that only a bleak conclusion awaits this story, it takes another turn, this time to usher in a hopeful, positive outlook.
