The film is a synthesis of Herzfeld's first three stickman short films. The protagonist Bill's struggle with his own psychological shadow is represented by a simple pencil animation. The seemingly random and fragmented satire quickly brings the audience into the protagonist's unknown disease like a brainstorm. induced isolation. The emotionless narration acts as the protagonist's inner monologue and normalizes the absurd and bizarre. The occasional reality scene interrupts the character's memory and deals a heavy blow to his short-lived optimism.

It's Such a Beautiful Day quotes

Narrator: He will spend hundreds of years travelling the world; learning all there is to know. He will learn every language, he will read every book, he will know every land. he will spend thousands of years, creating stunning works of art. He will learn to meditate to control all pain. As wars will be fought, and great loves found, and lost, and found, lost, and found, and found, and found and memories built upon memories, until life runs on an endless loop. He will father hundreds of thousands of children whose own exponential offspring he will slowly lose track of, though the years. Whose millions of beautiful lives, will all, eventually, be swept again from the Earth. And still, Bill will continue. He will learn more about life, than any being in history, but death will forever be a stranger to him. People will come and go, until names lose all meaning, until people lose all meaning and vanish entirely from the world, and still Bill will live on. he will befriend the next inhabitants of the Earth; beings of light, who revere him as a god. And bill will outlive them all, for millions and millions of years, exploring, learning, living. Until the Earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning, and the moment comes that he only knows the positions of the stars, and see's them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name, and the place he'd once come from. He lives, and he lives, until all of the lights, go out.
