What kind of man is Charlie Siem? Is he searching for love and does he need it, or would he rather go through life without experiencing it? Is he happy? He leads a childish life centered on himself or does he squeeze the moment he has worked to achieve for years? When does a smile become a mask and what mask does Charlie put on every day and why? In what situations do we put on our own masks? What hides under this mask? What kind of emotions? Why is it so hard to look into them?
