In this adaptation of Franz Kafka's story of the same name, a streamer fasts for 40 days in front of a large online audience. Thousands follow and comment on his life in his 24/7 livestream. He receives support from his manager, an avant-garde ASMR artist. Interest in his performance suddenly fizzles out when he begins a new round of fasting. With less and less of an audience, he has to look for new management, but continues to fast anyway. Left completely alone, he finally breaks his old fasting records, but unnoticed by everyone. When one last viewer appears shortly before his death, the streamer reveals why he had to fast.
