The film opens in a world where people kill themselves when witnessing hallucinations that come through a deadly force.

Blindfolds are commonplace in this world the movie presents as the characters in it search for food and shelter while being unable to see what's around them. While the film is certainly thought-provoking and proficiently made, the movie occasionally suffers from having too many characters, some of whom get lost in the shuffle.
