Sinopsis

Ollie, a young and frenetic individual, rushes to the airport with his phone in hand, spitting chaotic conversations with multiple people. He’s ready to embark on a new life in another country. He finds himself at a point in his life where his overwhelming pace complicates seemingly simple tasks, such as catching a taxi to the airport. His concerns extend beyond the uncertainty that undoubtedly awaits him; a greater weight pushes him to leave his current situation.

A recent intense and tumultuous relationship with his ex-partner, a hectic social life, job instability, dashed dreams, and profound personal dissatisfaction bring him to a turning point in his life. Here, he confronts his own nature and experiences a catharsis. An unexpected phone call, which resolves Ollie’s doubts, makes him shudder, and he flees.
