Where do you go, if not to your head? He begins with a blank canvas, filled with colourless portrayals of our existence. Once he reveals the lens and turns on the camera, we see the wide world that lives inside his head. A nameless boy carries out a project on male loneliness after his father's death. He interviews four men from drastically different backgrounds, attempting to learn from them how to become a man.
