Synopsis

If you walk into a room, and no one sees you enter, are you really there? Lost and bewildered in a world where eye contact is considered quaint, “Me” (Jim Stark) struggles to remember who he once might have been, and who he might be now, if he could just get someone to acknowledge his existence. In order to find himself, Me must find the courage to journey into the wilderness of lost identity. Will he see himself there? And if he does, will it make a difference?
