This is the story of a man, who suffers from a severe case of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity syndrome. Imagine what it’s like to be wracked with pain and illness on minimal contact with electricity including basic items like mobile phones. Forced to live in a hyper-connected world, he flees his home city, fracturing his bonds with family and society. While he wanders deeper and deeper into the wilderness, seeking a safe zone to live, he becomes a recluse, a loner not fit for this world.
