The short film

A young man, disappointed in human relations, moves into a tower in the middle of nowhere. However over time the pleasant solitude gives in to dreams of intimacy, and the hermit attempts to satisfy them by calling an escort. The encounter won’t go as imagined, but will encourage him to question his solitary life.
