The COmmute

Rob (Arthur Angel) assembles door handles alone in a giant, industrial facility. Every day, he takes the bus to work, does his job, goes home, and repeats. He glides frictionless through his days, asleep to the life that is unfolding in-front of him.
One day, Rob dies on the job. Unbeknownst to him, his bus ride that day will be the last few moments he spends on earth. Will he savour the present? Or will he travel towards the afterlife never having tasted the beauty in the mundane?

Savour it all.
