The short film is an exploration of a musician's struggle to remain dedicated to his art and create something new. Even after trying for almost a year, when he is left with little work to show for all the time, he finds himself at the end of his rope. The visual introduction to his room reveal a life of addiction, debauchery, along with self-pity and an ongoing battle with mental health.
As matters come to a head with a deadline looming close, there is a strange realisation that dawns upon him - the importance of being able to accept himself. The message the film has for the viewer is a positive one - a reminder to never lose hope in oneself. The narrative further adopts a black and white palette, and attempts to use the metaphors of mirror and reflection to convey its message in an emphatic manner.
