The short film is essentially an engagement with the protagonist's refusal to look inward and perhaps even take responsibility for his actions. It is these personality traits that have led him to his current situation, a deeply undesirable one for it is mired in divorce and a custody battle. <br><br> There is further the mention of him preoccupying himself with tasks that he is yet not capable of handling, especially financially, instead of doing something he needs more desperately, like looking for a job. The title of the film thus becomes a metaphor for his own refusal to address the origin of the problem, and instead weigh himself down with its more superficial aspects. In the process, the narrative becomes a trajectory marked by the protagonist's internal journey and forward movement, that is then shared with the viewer to engage with.
