Synopsis: A lonely theater actor inhabits a world populated by his past characters. Unexpectedly he finds himself plunged into the realities of the people around: his drunken neighbor, a shy and awkward young woman, a critically-ill girl… As he experiences the pain and suffering of others, he himself becomes transformed – from a cynical narcissist into a compassionate and selfless person. Having found himself inhabiting the role of a rich and odious presidential candidate, he attempts to exploit this new situation to come up with the money necessary for the girl’s treatment. Yet this proves not to be enough. He resolves to take a final, desperate step…
