The short film is about how the overdevelopment in Malta affects the daily routine of a young man. The amount of noise disrupts his daily life whether it be eating with his family, getting ready for the day ahead or just doing an errand. The problem of overdevelopment is so bad that it causes him stress and panic as he lies awake at night only to hear the sounds of construction echoing in his mind making him numb to his surroundings. He decides to get away from this craziness and chaos in the city and goes to the countryside where he finds peace and quiet. For a while, he has found a safe haven, until a construction crew worker comes and gives him a paper which lets him know that the property will be built on and that he must leave.
