Out of Chaos

Jon is struggling with the painfully orchestrated nature of modern life. But scared of chaos, he's trapped in limbo. Pushing away those closest to him, Jon rejects help from his girlfriend, leaving him increasingly isolated. Trapped with his inner demons, life is simply passing him by. His maverick friend, frustrated with Jon's numbness to the world, and struggling with family problems, presses him to reject the status quo. We're all going to die - so what is the point of predictability? Jon watches his mate smash his mum's car window, and they escape to the beach and light fireworks, igniting a spark in him. He rejects order. They spiral into a euphoric state of chaos. In a blur of bedlam, Jon finally embraces his lack of control. In a shock, his friend is hit by a car and dies, sending Jon back into depression. Intoxicated with pain, he fantasises killing himself. Desperately chasing what he felt, Jon returns to the beach and stumbles across the fireworks. He lights one and feels nothing. Finally, he realises that chaos alone is not what freed him. It's sharing the moment with those that matter. Jon turns and sees his girlfriend. He breaks down.
