[2][3][4] Starts on Monday, in the middle of his room, a student (Paolo Benetazzo) tries to study surrounded by his past and his present, obsessed by the concept of life and death, and tortured by the eternal struggle between science and religion.

His consciousness is revealed through a combination of memories, emotions and motivations in a six-day span, while one day is entirely focused on his unconscious cognitive processes.

As the days go by, unexpected characters and situations interfere with the student, turning what was meant to be a regular week of study into a complete nightmare.

[1][2][12] He later stated: “Making this movie was like living a dream in hell:[3][5][6] the budget was ridiculous, the film crew was non-existent and I had no connections whatsoever.

The experience was so extreme that I thought about quitting in several occasions.”[1][2] Influenced by unconventional filmmaking techniques, he worked with an open screenplay and used unknown actors, friends and family.

I wanted the film to be a primarily visual and sound experience in which music plays a vital role in evoking specific atmospheres.”[1][2][3] The soundtrack album was released on iTunes on October 1, 2013.
