Synopsis

The hero consisted of questionnaire questions, or rather, of the answers to them: "No", "I wasn't", "I didn't", "I didn't participate", "I wasn't attracted". He was a "man NOT". With each such "No", a fragment of his face appears on the screen: his forehead, eyes, ears, etc., until his portrait is completely formed. Then the seal is applied - and the person comes to life - And the first thing he did was to make a modest frame out of a thin baguette, because, in general, each person should have his own place in society. So we, probably, unconsciously, are still building some kind of our own framework. The only question is whether we become slaves to this framework, or does this framework help us in life. And his whole life will pass in this frame, which, as he impersonates and cowards, becomes richer and more solid.
