Synopsis
Depicting waning presence and invisibility: A nameless, forgotten man has turned invisible and is fading from existence. Can the effervescence of life be restored to this invisible man in a single animated short film? There is freedom and anxiety in invisibility. Those around him take no notice of him... even machines do not register his existence. No longer able to bear the fragility of presence, his body rises to flutter into the sky, with even gravity letting go... soon he will vanish entirely.
