Constantly juggling between comfort and insecurity and the result of having invited hypocrisy and conflict into our daily lives have made us contemporary human monsters., far from the people we once thought we were.
In this story two men and a woman embark on a journey through life believing that connecting to each other might rescue them only to realize that in life we remain utterly alone. Having to cope with social pressure they find themselves failing in all aspects of communication. With their lack of enthusiasm and a monotony that kills born out of numerous errors they travel through the land of social humiliation and face the horror of forced joy and desperate interactions in order to fit in somewhere, sometimes. Trying hard to find peace between who they are and the world that surrounds them they end up on a post paradise planet, alone but together. The place that was promised them, on the condition that they behaved well, has suddenly lost all value, as have they.
