A philosophically ambitious animated meditation on identity, emotion, and romantic disappointment that uses formal experimentation to explore the nature of feeling itself.

A quixotic artist hypothesizes about why he feels bad when a mystery girl stands him up. The event prompts him to ask: what's the content of a momentary feeling? Is it the sum of your experiences? And perhaps more importantly, are your experiences the sum of you?
