Nothing

In a cramped, dimly lit apartment tucked away in an anonymous city, two longtime friends navigate the ordinary pressures of modern adulthood. Andrew is a travel‑agent who has never felt comfortable beyond his front door, his agoraphobia turning the world outside into a distant, intimidating blur. Across the thin wall, Dave endures the grind of an office job that seems to crush his spirit, his days marked by petty humiliations and a yearning for something beyond the monotonous routine. Their bond, forged over countless evenings of shared meals and sardonic jokes, is both a refuge and a source of gentle friction, each trying to compensate for the other’s shortcomings while masking their own insecurities.

One unremarkable morning, the familiar hum of the city fades away, leaving the duo staring at an impossible sight: the entire world beyond their building has dissolved into an endless, featureless white void. The void stretches in every direction, a silent, pristine expanse that seems to swallow sound and sense alike. The apartment remains, a solitary island of clutter and memory, now surrounded by an alien horizon that offers no landmarks, no direction, and no escape. The sudden shift transforms the familiar into the uncanny, turning their modest home into the last known point of reference in an otherwise blank universe.

The film settles into a tone that balances eerie surrealism with a dry, introspective humor, inviting viewers to contemplate the weight of personal anxieties when stripped of the usual distractions of everyday life. As the friends stare into the boundless whiteness, the story hints at a quiet contest of wills and perspectives, each character’s inner world pressing against the stark external emptiness. Their relationship, already layered with affection and rivalry, becomes the lens through which the audience experiences a meditation on fear, control, and the strange possibility that what once felt limiting might now be the very thing that holds them together.
