SYNOPSIS

In an unknown cell, P endures complete solitude. Despite attempts to escape his misery, he remains trapped. The breath of freedom is sealed away by a metal window, and his dreams only deepen his despair. One day, a lost cloud drifts in by mistake. It becomes P's sole companion, growing too large for the cell. With a heavy heart, P releases it back to the sky. Amidst his hopelessness, P discovers a small patch of green. He nurtures it with care until it grows strong enough for him to climb. Reaching for the sky, P finally ascends, only to realize he resides within the mind of someone who looks just like him.
