Quinn receives a poem on why things ended.
A man aimlessly wanders around town and silently judges the people he sees. The thoughts and judgments slowly becomes more aggressive and hateful as he continues to watch the those around him. This film covers the dangers of extremism and getting carried away with illogical hate. The people stirring the pot generally not carrying out the action but getting the poor and the working class to battle with each other.
An ethical rationalization in contrasting Sisyphus and The Binding of Isaac, from the point of view of an ethical man. A meditation on the Absurd.

A film on silence, life, and stillness. A man is asleep through everyday tasks. Waking up, taking a shower, eating, going to work, taking a break, relaxing at the end of the day, and going back to sleep. Eternally asleep, never waking up.
A love letter to Minneapolis, Minnesota Nice, and Myself. Twin City Sympathies is represented through repeating visuals of Hennepin Ave Bridge, heading towards the heart of downtown on a foggy day. The narration representing half of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis, voicing the ironically surface level kindness of Minnesota Nice. Passive aggressive, but friendly - warmly welcoming, but coldly distant. David Matthew Johnson relates these defining Minnesota traits to his own personal expression of self.
