A total apathy has taken control of him. Nobel chooses his dreamworld before his daily reality. He takes himself further and further in an impossible position and gets a feeling of guilt over his laziness. He ignores all outside influences. When his telephone rings, he stifles it with pillows. He is a dreamer, endlessly escaping from daily business. Rediscovering reality is a central point in this film. The main character's dreamworld becomes his reality. Eventualy his indifference and pent-up feelings break loose into tears. Realising that every second that ticks is an utter new and unique experience, he learns just like a child to watch his own environment with astonishment. The agony he is experiencing in daily life is replaced by a new view in the art of living. Written by
