The heroes of my film work in the glass offices in business-centres, in stylish cafes & co-working spaces. They are successful and wealthy, but a little unhappy. Not feeling at ease, they rush into the forest where they try to live using the habitual objects and usual behaviour. Their colleagues suppose that the demons of downshifting are to blame for this. The demons of downshifting need to be expelled.
