A manic young artist is charted through a visual diary of self‑obsession. The film opens with a montage of still photos of his face, then moves to moving images: he stirs in sleep, paints in frustration, searches for a lighter, sketches, crumples paper, makes tea, studies his reflection, and repeatedly returns to canvas after canvas of self‑portraits.
