This short movie about a regular middle aged business man with a wife, two young children and a stressful work environment, comments on the busy lives many of us are experiencing in the 21st Century - and explores the possible consequences of such an existence. It tackles the concept of mental illness/anxiety/depression in a sensitive but confronting manner. This man leaves home one morning after spending some superficial time with his kids and wife. On the way he is involved in an accident, after which he experiences an overwhelming panic attack. The audience is exposed to his experiences as the world rushes by... A realistic account of the psychological fragility of "normal" humans... A reminder to reflect on what is important to us in this busy, high pressured world in which we live!! [As a Psychologist, I am hoping to obtain a copy to use as an educational/normalising tool]. Brilliant!
