Portrait of an American loner, Kenneth, an amiable substitute teacher who, after attending his mother during her lingering death, slips into a bizarre search for superhuman identity. Struggling to survive, he encounters five women, all played by one actress. Nearing a breakdown, he finds his sense of absurdity won’t allow the refrigerator door to close, and he emerges, bleak but alive.
