Storyline:  A young Parisian student slips into a state of profound apathy, withdrawing from all social connections and daily responsibilities. He wanders through the city in a trance-like state, drifting through empty streets and neglected rooms, his thoughts narrated by an unseen voice detailing his every move and internal struggle. As he descends further into his self-imposed detachment, he confronts an unsettling clarity about his existence and the world around him.
