His face was getting wrinkled, his hairline was moving backwards and he was on the waiting list for a knee operation. It was his day off and he didn\u2019t have any plans, so he ate his breakfast in front of the computer screen and asked himself \u201cWhat do I want to do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A grand existential crisis, a surreal Bulgakovian satire, or simply A Quiet Disaster? We follow Philip on his day off work as he struggles to find meaning and happiness through the everyday decisions that make up a day. Why did he cross that street? Does he keep walking, or shelter from the rain? What will make him happy? And just why is that dog wearing glasses?<\/p>\n<p>Alex has been working in the animation business in London since the year 2000.
