It's a feeling that most people are probably familiar with: the incredible, captivating silence, the pointless passing of time. But also what can come out of this boredom: he starts banging on everything he can, observing and existing. This portrayal of boredom and the inconspicuous, seemingly irrelevant scenes of everyday life, such as the recurring element of going to the toilet...
