The unhappy protagonist’s life is consumed by relentless work, fueled by energy drinks. A brief interaction with a self-checkout machine transports her into a dreamlike world where anything seems possible. An escape from the hardships of everyday life into a technological world free from fear and responsibility gives her a sense of freedom and ease. The lines between everyday life and fantasy begin to blur. While technology offers an alluring freedom from obligation, it also forces her to confront a deeper question: what is her place in a world driven by total automation?
