synopsis
Fragments of a daily routine – sleep, coffee, food, pills and shots of the inhospitable view from the window – are listed in the dictionary entry explaining the term “acedia”, a spiritual apathy manifested by a paralyzing indifference to oneself and one's surroundings. In this stop-motion animation, it takes the form of a blinking cursor on a blank computer screen, layers of reality that are peeling back, and a dying houseplant.
