      B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, a neurotic and underappreciated film critic, stumbles upon an unseen film by a reclusive outsider, convinced it will transform his career and revolutionize cinema. This three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece, taking ninety years to complete, becomes his mission to share with humanity. However, the film is destroyed, leaving him as the sole witness to its ephemeral genius. With only a single frame remaining, B. embarks on a mind-boggling journey to recall what might be the last great hope of civilization. His quest unfolds within a hilariously nightmarish psyche, as he navigates a Kafkaesque landscape shaped by the relentless noise of social media. Desperate to impose order on his chaotic existence, B. finds himself trapped in a self-imposed prison of victimhood and convoluted language. As he struggles to recreate the lost masterpiece, he grapples with a fracturing culture defined by "likes" and arbitrary denunciations, which are both his bane and his purpose. This narrative serves as a searing indictment of the modern world, offering a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the essence of existence itself—the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.
