Through the adventures of an allegedly insane man named Watmo, we're brought into the abyss of a society not caring enough for its mentally challenged. One day, Bakti, one of the administrational chairpersons of the neighbourhood suggests bringing Watmo to a mental institution in the suburb. Here, Watmo must live by other people's rules; the rules of the institution. Even though the neighbors and the manager of the shelterhouse meant well, we can’t help to see that there are still many things to be done, before we can consider ourselves a compassionate society. Meanwhile, Watmo seems to decide that eventually, heaven is a state of mind.
