It follows the story of a nihilistic, homebody son and his mother who works at a pharmaceutical factory. They have been living together for years. One weekend, the mother insists on celebrating her birthday by dragging her son on a hiking trip. They join a tour group, but tensions rise between them along the way. As the son wanders off, he stumbles upon a revelation in the woods, realizing the perceived falseness of his world, viewing it as nothing more than a coded construct. As he carries his injured mother down the mountain, the son begins to explore his own purpose and significance in the world. (CISFF 2024)
