The film primarily serves as a critique of late-stage capitalism and bureaucratic systems rather than an exploration of identity. The story centers on the dehumanizing aspects of modern institutions, presenting the struggle as an encounter with an indifferent machine. While it lacks overt representation of gender and sexual orientation, the film gains merit through its anti-institutional stance. Ultimately, the focus is on critiquing institutional authority rather than character-driven identity exploration.

Official Synopsis
Axel is an employee of a call center who is used to complaints from his clients and an unbearable boss. Axel has a natural talent for dealing with people and their problems. But one day everything changes, when he receives a call from Figueroa Mont, a frustrated client who wants to unsubscribe. Fed up with the bureaucracy of the companies, Figueroa warns Axel that he is watching him through a telescopic sight attached to a high-precision rifle and that if he does not solve the problem, he will blow his head off.
