Trapped in a mundane existence with a failing business and an unfulfilling marriage, a mild-mannered shopkeeper stages his own death to seek adventure. His journey leads him through comical mishaps and existential crises until he finds an unlikely sanctuary that requires him to fight for his newfound peace. It is a humorous and touching portrait of the ordinary man’s struggle for freedom.
