- Synopsis
- A man is protesting against widescreen TV and thinks the black bars in widescreen broadcasts contain hidden codes. At the end of the day, he puts a dramatic end to his own life. For years, he led a crusade against widescreen TV and other modern technology. Behind this man is a personal tragedy which forms the basis for an intriguing psychological thriller, with the facts largely remaining in the background. A film about a man who wants to make a clear statement that the world is going crazy, but who himself ends up as the loser.
