A bipolar hip-hop artist is trapped by his own rationality in a hallucinated reality where he cannot tell himself apart. His attempt to express himself through rap is torn by a part of himself anchored to nihilism. But the light of his enthusiasm does not go out: the struggle is expressed through the protagonist's art, divided into sixteen reasons to live. The man reminds himself of his identity and stands out, in his inner theater, through scratching. Here the two parts find each other again. The conflict becomes tangible through rap and beatbox, performed by the respective psychological fragments within the artist's rediscovered identity. But fulfillment is a mere utopia. It is the conflict itself that generates creation: the endless circle of the main character's life.
