Alexander, an 18-year-old boy, lives misunderstood, as everyone around him is obsessed with having the approval of the Omniscient Being; an entity to whom offerings are brought and who decides to approve or disapprove them based on whether people follow social norms and stereotypes. In an attempt by Alexander to prove that the Omniscient Being is actually a farce, society forces him to be like everyone else.

Scopaesthesia, a phenomenon in which human beings are able to extrasensorily detect if they are being stared at. This short film portrays the fear of being judged by otherness and how it’s very limiting and doesn't let you be yourself. Despite this, upon realizing that this fear really comes from low self-esteem, there is a way out and a path to freedom, which is achieved with self-acceptance.
