"To become oneself in a world that asks you to stay small."
Synopsis
A nervous young poet takes the stage to perform, but as he speaks, his words are shown through a symbolic inner world where self-confinement takes physical form. He is asked to confront the cocoon he has built around himself, and fights to reach the world waiting for him beyond the silk. The poet must emerge from silence and self-doubt, completing metamorphosis, even with no one left as witness.

Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram designs a psychology experiment that still resonates to this day, in which people think they’re delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger strapped into a chair in another room. Despite his pleads for mercy, the majority of subjects don’t stop the experiment, administering what they think is a near-fatal electric shock, simply because they’ve been told to do so. With Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram strikes a nerve in popular culture and the scientific community with his exploration into people’s tendency to comply with authority. Celebrated in some circles, he is also accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster, but his wife Sasha stands by him through it all.
