A man sits alone in his room and considers his predicament. He opens a window and tries to not think about money. Meanwhile, his students make their assignments. 'A dialogue without conflict' or 'a character overcomes an obstacle'. Slowly, while making and learning, they form a community. A creative family unmoored by the quality of their output.
