The story of a man who struggles with relating to humans. The man feels utterly detached from everything that makes one truly human. Watching him attempt to connect, fail, recede, and lash out is a truly harrowing portrait of brokenness, made all the more frightening for how relatable it is. His life might not be anything like the viewer's, but as in the original novel, almost anyone can see a little of themselves in him.
