Synopsis
An office worker arises early and prepares for work; but instead of leaving his house, he seats himself in his own living room, where he sits motionless for the entire day, taking a few minutes off for lunch. Then he has dinner, watches some television and, exhausted, goes to bed.
Has he, perhaps, been made redundant but, institutionalised after years of office work, still follows the same routines? Is he agoraphobic? Or is his bizarre routine actually his job, odd though this might seem?
