The 4-minute film opens with the irritating sound of surfing through TV channels. We are then introduced to our unnamed protagonist as he sits, in isolation, at a bus shelter. The narrative is explained through character voice-over. Morgan Mackerness delivers a profound performance throughout as his character observes and critiques the “out of control” contemporary culture. The protagonist breaks the fourth-wall as if he is addressing the audience directly – potentially in blame for contributing to how society has ended up. Social media, the COVID-19 pandemic and topical civil unrest are particularly targeted. The film concludes with the character finding solace and freedom amongst nature.
