Synopsis: Geoffrey buries his phone and shuns technology in a one-man silent rebellion against the modern world. After a bruising public breakup, Geoffrey (Luke Rollason) seeks a ‘Quiet Life’. But when potential new human connection comes knocking, Geoffrey is torn between the world he has created and the one he left behind. Physical comedy and farce stumble into existential sadness in this semi-silent comedy for a disconnected world.
