About this film+

A dying bureaucrat searches for meaning in his final months after a lifetime of monotonous office work. He decides to build a playground for a local neighborhood to leave a lasting legacy. The film uses high-contrast black and white photography to highlight the stark difference between his dull past and his final purpose.
