It's easy to understand what this film is about early on - a man locks up all his stuff (which apparently is too much) and decides to only allow himself to take back 1 thing a day. Immediately it's difficult not to compare this to millions of people worldwide living rough on the streets - yet this guy doesn't have it rough, he still has it apartment, and after a few days more 'stuff' than any homeless person.
So this film is not about awareness of this problem in the world (though it should have been - or at least highlighted it). Instead it is more about a person trying to understand what is important to him. This, in a material sense, is only touched upon briefly as the larger part of the film loses focus on this and just concentrates on him and his life.
The film struggles to tell its message - and the whole purpose of the project because the spotlight is on the lead far too often. A missed opportunity to make a documentary about something insightful.
