Raised on a diet of adventure books and dreams formed via glossy brochures, under the questionable influence of his father, a nameless man, moulded by the desire to pursue a life of exploration, faces endless physical and emotional challenges amidst the conflicted reality of failure and shame.His story becomes a third-person poetic anti-travelogue filled with vignettes that give him a rationale and reason for his life.Told in four parts, each one beginning with a letter written to his father, the man, gradually losing hope, discovers the life he continually strived for doesn’t go the way he thought or hoped, erupting into a series of unfulfilling and emotionally crippling events.With his life passing by with no real effect or meaning, he eventually accepts the need to be the author of his own story.
