A man works in a dystopian office. He copes by thinking about beautiful paintings during breaktime. His peace of mind is interrupted by a strange coworker and ants crawling out of his skin. At first the stress and horror overwhelm the man but the ants guide him towards painting, his original calling that he gave up. He leaves his desk, following the trail of ants, and returns home where he paints a painting and lets all of his feelings out.
