Just to wait until there is nothing left to wait for.

Drama

A young student decides to have no more interaction with the world than is needed to minimally sustain life. His increasingly automaton-like behavior is coupled with a strange clarity of insight about the world around him.

VIBE

A stark, disorienting plunge into urban anomie. It feels like drifting through a grayscale dream, where mundane existence becomes a surreal, introspective nightmare. A truly bleak, philosophical experience.
