A melancholic magical-realist fable about a man's emotional withdrawal manifesting as literal invisibility of others, exploring grief, isolation, and the dissolution of human connection.

Bruno is a young film editor who has just broke up his marriage with Regina, and returned living in his mother's house. Drowned in deep sorrow, something very weird happens in his life: people around him are gradually disappearing. But only for him. Some kind of blindness.
