A meditation on transformation, acceptance and hope within an overwhelming and over-stimulating world.

The characters in this suggestive film all seem trapped within their own scenes, within their own emotional lives, their own personae. We see them trying to cope and to break free. We follow these characters as if the film were a photographic series: capturing each of them in their own microcosmos, alone yet connected to one another through the shared dynamic of their experiences.
