The film weaves two parallel stories that intersect. One follows a bored middle‑aged man desperate to break the monotony of his routine; the other tracks a blind man and his young grandson, bound by mutual dependence. All characters remain nameless, identified only by description, while the city looms as a chaotic, expressionist nightmare.
