Out of Chaos

In a world full of order, choose 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, pressures him to reject the status quo. We are all going to die - so what is the point of predictability? Jon watches his friend smash his mum's car window, and they escape to the beach to light fireworks, igniting a spark in him too. 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 about 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 is sharing the moment with those that matter. Jon turns and sees his girlfriend. He breaks down.
