Director and protagonist Ondřej guides us through the diverse landscapes of his struggle with depression, starting with a childhood family trip, to perfectionism in university, and his everyday struggles with the "darkness" at work. Stylizing Ondřej’s environment and the abstract images of his emotions with the help of animation, VR allows us to experience and understand what it’s like to live with this illness, how to tackle it, and what mechanisms people with depression use to feel better.
